Why the Raptors Would Make This Trade:

The Raptors are looking to secure playoff experience by acquiring Rudy, who can strengthen their defense as they aim for postseason success. Although Rudy's contract is approximately $2.5 million more per year than Quickly's, it is for one year less. This contract structure gives the Raptors greater flexibility to sign Dick. Additionally, they will have three years to evaluate Dillingham's potential, as he is currently on a rookie contract worth only $6.5 million per year, providing further cap flexibility.

Raptors' Potential Starting Lineup:

• Rudy

• Barnes

• Ingram

• Barrett

• Dick/Dillingham

Why the Timberwolves Would Make This Trade:

The Timberwolves need a point guard who can contribute during the playoffs, especially as Mike Conley approaches the end of his career. Quickly would be a good fit in the backcourt alongside Ant. Poeltl can offer some of the value that Rudy brought to the team, but at a cheaper and shorter contract.

Timberwolves' Potential Starting Lineup:

• Poeltl/Naz

• Randle

• McDaniels

• Ant

• Quickly/DiVincenzo/Conley
