Why Timberwolves do this: They won't but its just for fun and that's the point of my content but if I had to give reasons why they would here is why: Devin Vassell is a very solid player and so is Stephon Castle is currently sitting at 1st in rookie of the year voting. They also get a nice defensive wing in Champagnie. The Wolves aren't close to contention IMO because they seem like they're stuck at mediocracy. I get it they made the WCF a year ago but they traded a key piece in KAT. Gobert has struggled but Randle is only pretty good in 2K. This trade gives the Timberwolves depth and some decent pieces to help them move forward. They also get a good amount of picks. They also get the Spurs pick this year and well we all know the Spurs get good lottery luck.
Why the Spurs do this: The Spurs have Wemby. He is a young generational talent and can have so many young years in his career. The Spurs have picked up Fox at the deadline and still have nice young talent in Keldon Johnson and they also have a lot of picks in the future. Edwards is a top 5-6 player. He led a decent Minnesota to the WCF... Impressive. He would pair good with Fox in the backcourt. The Spurs are close to contention and this team would be nice. They would still have a little bit of money but they could also trade their bad contracts with Barnes and they could flip Chris Paul for a young guy on a contender.
