So this is a realistic trade. Good idea OP.


neither can add salaries.
They can if the salaries are the exact match which is possible.

Unless ESPN trade machine lied to me I swear I had an exact salary match trade yesterday.

Neither team can aggregate either. Needs to be 1 player for 1 player with exact salary match.

Teams over the first apron can not take back additional salary. Teams over the 2nd apron can not aggregate.
These two team can’t tango unless it’s Booker for Towns.

Although KD is a better player than Towns, I honestly doubt the Wolves do it. Who guards Jokic if they do this, and how many years does KD have left?

This, plus KD is famous for wanting out, every year he is older and on the move lowers his retrade value. Add to this KAT’s connection with the locker room and Rudy especially (we are trying to get him to decline his option and lower his salary, for 25-26 and sign for more years,) and you basically hit a wall. KAT isn’t likely moving, and if he does it will be for someone like Markkanen who can floor space and play with Rudy for less money.

KAT is our backup C and Naz showed he is not a C anymore throughout last season. We would be creating a roster hole with no player or money, or roster spot (15 is not gonna be used,) and no way to fill it. This trade doesn’t make the Wolves much better (if at all,) as KAT is quite a bit younger and plays better big man defense. Interesting idea, but ultimately DOA.

Salaries are still not an exact match. Can’t be done
