Celtics Get:
Donte DiVincenzo
Goga Bitadze
C's shed more salary for quality rotation players. DD is a perfect fit and Goga can really shine here
PP/DD/White/Brown/Goga
Wolves Get:
Anfernee Simons
Wendell Carter Jr.
Anthony Black
Jett Howard
They get a starting PG and a Center who can space the floor for them plus some depth
Simons/Ant/Jaden/Randle/Reid
Magic Get:
Rudy Gobert
Finally getting a Center who fits their defensive identity
Suggs/Bane/Wagner/Banchero/Gobert

easy Orlando pass. not taking on Gobert and his deal with our other deals and Paolo coming up on his extension.

Hasn't Carter Jr had consistent injury issues over the years?
I think getting Black is the prize for the Wolves here, and they did interview him pre-draft despite not having a pick that year so they presumably have/had interest in him. But this does have them take a step back and I'm not sure if Simons is who the team would want next to Ant.

I guess the value isn't terrible for the Wolves, but I don't seem them doing it. We already have so many guys that need minutes and we break 2 guys down into 3 more that will need minutes. Also are taking a big step back defensively trading Rudy. I think Wolves pass.

On a positive note, it would be a great trade for the value of the MIN draft capital controlled by Utah.

Timberwolves don't have the roster spots for this. It's also hard for them to pay a Top 5 defender in the NBA for a bunch of quarters, especially with their roster flush with depth.
This is really good for Orlando. They compile a bunch of meh assets and salary for a real difference maker.
Too good for Boston. Donte is better than Simons on a multi-year salary.
