The Minnesota Timberwolves have Mike Conley Jr. as their starting point guard but could keep their options open considering he’s entering his age 36 season. They acquired him for D’Angelo Russell and recouped several second-round picks in the deal. They could look to get younger by packaging Conley with multiple second-round picks for Brogdon.

The Timberwolves cannot trade a first-round pick right now but could trade up to five second-round picks. Brogdon earns $1.9 million less than Conley, so this framework would give them more flexibility against their tax crunch. Conley is on an expiring deal so he would likely hit the buyout market if not traded again
