Wolves They see KAT as not the guy to get them over the top. The issues with this team is shooting/scoring/offense. KAT has struggled in the playoffs overall, even when he has been good it is not enough. Too many mental lapses and doesn't make enough winning plays. They get a "similar" type player in Lauri, who is able to space the floor, has a better scoring presence and keeps the big lineup (considering they have to go through Jokic and the Nuggets). Sign Trent Jr., who is a 3 and D type guy. Stats show he makes the highest percentage from stand alone 3s. Father also played for Minnesota.
Jazz Pretty simple here, they own they 2025 draft pick. Tank for Flagg, have a lot of cap space available next year to build roster around him as well as mentorship type players.
Nets They get the hometown Jersey kid - KAT. A former 6th man of the year in Clarkson. Nets eager to build a roster around Bridges as they have proven their dedication to him and evidence in turning down a lot of picks for him.
