Minnesota focuses on getting under the luxury tax while staying competitive and arguably get better.

Minnesota lands Jerami Grant, Dennis Schroeder, and a FRP for Kat that gives the Timberwolves a more balanced starting five and more depth at the PG position (Monte Morris isn't even playing right now). The are 10 mill under the luxury tax with this move so can bring back Kyle Anderson as well if needed.

Brooklyn has none of their own picks so they need to start winning now. They resign Claxton and bring in KAT and Brogdon to have a veteran presence and a real point guard. They can have a starting lineup of Brogdon, Cam Thomas, Mikal, KAT, and Claxton. They will have enough money left over to resign their guys or go out in Free Agency.

Blazers flip their veterans for Cam Johnson and get a look at Dariq Whitehead. This trade fits the Blazers timeline much better and they land 2 FRPs for their troubles.

Detrott improves their roster with bringing in DFS for Fournier to add defense and veteran leadership.
