Towns adds even more floor spacing and scoring capability to the pelicans offense. Can play on and off-ball both as a PF or at C. Good rebounder and would likely be a decent big Defender. KAT as a Pick and Roll/Pop partner for Zion and Murray would be Elite. He is very versatile offensively and can be a highly efficient second Option, or in case of an emergency/ when he catches fire be your first option. All of the above makes him a perfect rotational fit.

Wendell Carter Jr. Is as good as it gets for a backup big. Can shoot the ball from outside while also being very athletic. He is a great rebounder and his potential is a lot higher than what we've seen from him over the last seasons.

Dosunmo as the 6th man could be plugged in at both PG or SG and provide whatever the team needs at this time. Whether it be scoring, playmaking, rebounding or defending he can do a little bit of everything. Primarily acquired as an Alvarado upgrade or in case Murray is injured. Being surrounded by offensive threats would give him the best looks of his career. He might be available and personally enticed to join a new Team since the Bulls Rotation is filled with talented and developing Guards even if LaVine leaves.

Minnesota even if they are not rumored nor likely to trade Towns, their future payroll might lead to exploring different routes. Adding Players on cost controlled contracts through the draft might thus be a great way for them to trim down salaries while not sacrificing production. Ingram's market will likely result in him making significantly less than Towns thus already reducing the Payroll. They're also relieving Edwards offensively, since Ingram is a valid second Option who can (way better than Towns) create good shots for himself and others. His 3pt% would likely also increase due to more looks being created for him by Edwards rather than him having to create for others. He's a average to good Defender though they would lose size and rebounding with him compared to Towns.

Magic get an elite shooter with secondary playmaking skills. Collum is a way better fit than Thompson or other potential Targets. With his experience, there is no doubt he will perform at whatever Shooting role he'll play in Orlando.
