2nd: Trade Teague to open space for Tyus.
3rd: Trade G and OCK pick for a competent wing backup (ideally 3&D).
4th: Resign Bjellica
5th: With the open space from Wiggins and Teague, sign a starter 3.
6th: Win 10 more games next season.
Which team would give away top5 pick for Wiggs? Regarding Teague, if he plays in playoffs like the way he played in last 2 games, then I am totally fine with him
Orlando or Phoenix? They have the capspace and their rebuilds are far from ideal. As for Teague, I dont think he really helped the team so far this season. Tyus has been better by any metric and he havent entered his prime yet, while Teague is going to be declining for the next 2 seasons.
Does Sacramento say no to Hield, Sac #1 and Shumpert(filler) for Wiggins? Minnesota could end up with Donic, Porter, Bagley, T.Young or trade down for more assets. Of course it can't officially happen till July 1st(when the PPP status from Wiggins' contract is over).
You move Butler to SF, add your deadeye 3pt shooter Hield to the starting lineup(Bogdanovic has leapfrogged him) and then watch teams regret doubling Towns or Butler and have Teague being able to attack the basket more with better spacing. Not to mention shedding Shumpert's contract and the ability to go over the cap to resign Hield(and Shumpert for depth if he's cheap).
Orlando may be interested also with their history of just drafting nearly complete busts and possibly wanting to offload some contracts they don't want to move forward with.
As much as I don't think Wiggins will be a "superstar", he does have the ability to become one because of his athletic ability and skill so it's probable someone else thinks they can unlock that ability in him, toss in a GM may be nervous about missing with a high pick and knowing that Wiggins has the mindset to be a 20+ ppg scorer(some/alot fans don't care about efficiency).
