Timberwolves - it’s clear Randle is a horrible fit in Minnesota and has to go.. his value is pretty low and since Minnesota is a 2nd apron team that don’t have much flexibility in getting rid of him. Bridges fits much better and is on a decently manageable salary. Seth Curry can provide some much needed shooting off the bench.

Hornets - i personally don’t like this trade for the Hornets, but they could possibly be interested due to a few things. 1 - Randle adds an additional creator next to LaMelo which is something Charlotte definitely needs.. 2 - if they don’t view Bridges as a part of their long term plans and want to dump his multi-year salary (Randle could opt out via Player Option resulting in nice cap savings). they also pickup additional draft assets in a protected Pistons first that could convey as early as this season!! as well as a 2nd round pick via Utah that should be in the very high 30’s.. overall not a great package for them but it’s not horrible.
