Pretty straightforward. Minnesota gets a legit secondary ball handler and safety valve for Ant Man in the back court. Nembhard allows Minnesota to improve their defensive versatility. Minnesota also picks up a 2027 first round pick that helps them improve their future trading options. Reid slides to the starting lineup for them with Toppin and Walker providing decent wing depth that can run and stretch the floor. Toppin can also play some small-ball 5.

New T-Wolves lineup: PG - Nembhard/Conley SG - Edwards/DiVincenzo SF - McDaniels/Walker PF - Reid/Toppin C - Gobert/Beringer

Pacers go unconventional. They need a clear upgrade at center. But they opt to lean even further into "positionless" basketball. Randle has the heft to improve their frontcourt next to Siakam and has some play-making ability as a big man. Losing Nembhard is tough, but they are convinced that Mathurin can play shooting guard next to Haliburton long-term. They opt to give Dillingham the reigns the rest of the season to see if he can develop in their system.

New Pacers lineup: PG - Dillingham/McConnell SG - Mathurin/Kam Jones SF - Nesmith/Sheppard PF - Siakam/Furphy C - Randle/Huff
