The Wolves have started the offseason in an active way, and this continues that trend with one player that they want and one that they need. They have wanted Simmons for months, and they need a great point guard and Irving fits. This also gets Chicago some money saved and picks for what some view as dead weight, and Brooklyn gets multiple picks and frees up the max rookie extension spot to trade for another young star in a Durant trade. They also get a player who is not too far removed from being an All-Star and could experience a career renaissance in Brooklyn in Vucevic.

MIN Projected Starting "Death" Lineup: PG: Kyrie Irving SG: Anthony Edwards SF: Ben Simmons PF: Karl-Anthony Towns C: Rudy Gobert

CHI Projected Starting Lineup: PG: Lonzo Ball SG: Zach LaVine SF: DeMar DeRozan PF: Patrick Williams C: Andre Drummond

BKN Projected Starting Lineup: After this trade, a Kevin Durant trade becomes imminent, meaning that a lineup becomes too difficult to predict.
