Unlikely that MINN pick gets swapped so it's for show, Karnasovas will be fired by 2031 Knechte might find time as a shooter to replace Huerter or Dosunmu after this season. But again with the Gabe Vincent. Take a look at Vincent next to Jevon Carter, they're close to twins. The Bulls don't need Carter so why would they want to add Vincent? Try looking at the results of trades when you're trade machining.

If you take out CHI, and turn Gabe Vincent into a decent back up center, this might not be a bad package for win-now MIN.

I don’t think teams are clamoring to add Gabe Vincent for $11.5 mil, but the Wolves would likely have a use him as a one-year transition from Conley to Dillingham. I am hoping DDV returns to NYK-form after his sudden trade to MIN, with his desired skillset and two years left on low-priced deal, but this price doesn’t seem unreasonable, splitting the difference between my hopes and last year’s reality. A 2nd for Leonard Miller seems reasonable.

MIN’s two big needs are a transition PG with some shot creation and ability to maintain an offense in short stints, and a fourth big, most likely a more defensive center who can play with Naz or Randle when Gobert sits.

DDV/Miller aren't worth a 1st more than Vincent and Knecht.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

The market price for mid combo guards on meh efficiency is "hope we don't have to pay to dump him"

Coby White has got one second round pick written all over him.

I'd rather have DDV to be honest.

This seems like a larger Lakers overpay followed by a smaller Minnesota overpay, with CHI laughing all the way to the bank.
