Please read the details of the trade and give me your opinion, is it fair? What would you change?

Sorry for the mistakes, my English is a bit rusty.

Why ?:

Los Angeles: After another early elimination in the Post Season, the Clippers decide to stop the Kawhi Leonard and Paul George project, they are looking for quality pieces with All Star potential for a quick rebuild to continue to fight to stay competitive.

Atlanta: Despite the great run in the 2021 Playoffs, the Hawks have failed to achieve the expectations. With a quality new coach in Quin Snyder and a roster filled with interesting young pieces, a smart move including John Collins, who has been unwanted for too long, and bringing in an All Star alongside Trae Young and Dejounte Murray may be the step that would allow them to become real contenders.

Minnesota: Having mortgaged their future against three-time DPOY french center Rudy Gobert who was supposed to help them to be competitive in the playoffs, not everything went according to plan. The interior pair full of promise did not give satisfaction, KAT once again missed too many games and disappointed in defense and leadership. The keys of the franchise being now in the hands of Anthony Edwards, it is perhaps the moment for the Timberwolves and KAT to take different ways, the franchise could undoubtedly have a good player more complementary for their racket in a trade involving the self-proclaimed "best bigman shooter of all time".

The trade:

The Clippers can rebound after the failure of Kawhi and PG by recovering Karl-Anthony Towns as a potential All Star, with John Collins and De'andre Hunter both 25 years old, still potential to develop, but already a good level to complete the frontcourt. They also get a good piece for the rotation with Kyle Anderson and several picks to continue to improve their roster in the coming years, despite the loss of their two best players the franchise keeps a quality roster with a little more flexibility and assets to begin their rapid rebuilding.

The Hawks get Kawhi Leonard, the All Star they needed to be more competitive, they move John Collins, an interesting player, but whose future was discussed and De'andre Hunter who, even if his potential is really intriguing, can't stay regular in Atlanta because of the recurring injuries he suffers. 3 first round picks in addition, it is the price to pay to get one of the best wing of the planet and become one of the strongest places in the East.

The Timberwolves get Paul George, a talented veteran on both sides of the court, more complementary in a racket with Rudy Gobert, in exchange, they say goodbye to their former Franchise-Player Karl-Anthony Towns as well as to Kyle Anderson, although interesting allows above all to match the salary. Thus Minesotta can start again with a more balanced team and hope that with an even more dominant Ant-Man, they can aim very high.

Big trade right ?
