Clippers get much better as a regular season team adding a defensive stopper who can cover Harden's mistakes. The only player they give up that's truly worth his contract is Zu, and there's no telling if he wants to stay and if the Clippers are willing to pay him. Also, Harden would be the best passer Rudy has played with, potentially getting him more involved on the offensive side. His contract is big, but it'll be an expiring contract next year that may be tradeable for that purpose alone, and this is money the'll spend either way on players they likely want to move (while getting 2nds back).

Minnesota gears up for a deep playoff run with a center to add to their rotation. Keep the other pieces to fill out the rotation, use them as trade assets, or just let expire. Minnesota doesn't have much draft capital, so they're ability to add to their roster will somewhat be limited to money they can free up for free agents.
