Brooklyn may be hesitant to part with draft capital after the KD, Kyrie, and Harden era but—if they are—they could do worse than acquiring one of the best offensive bigs in the league to pair with Bridges and Simmons.

• KAT would be the perfect frontcourt compliment to Ben Simmons with his elite shooting and scoring skills. And Bridges would have another star running mate to partner with.

• For Minnesota, in addition to getting 3 greatly-needed first-round picks, they would acquire proven perimeter talents that could neatly fit into what they’re building around Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels while also creating flexibility for the future.

BROOKLYN

1. Ben Simmons

2. Mikal Bridges

3. Dorian Finney-Smith

4. Cameron Johnson

5. Karl-Anthony Towns

And they’d have Cam Thomas, Royce O’Neale, and Nic Claxton to use off the bench.

MINNESOTA

1. Mike Conley Jr.

2. Anthony Edwards

3. Jaden McDaniels

4. Kyle Anderson

5. Rudy Gobert

And the first guys off the bench could be Spencer Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, and Taurean Prince.
