Wolves-Hawks

[Mamba4Goat]

Wolves send: Donte Divincenzo, 17
Hawks send: 13
*Hawks use the Murray TPE to absorb DDV

Why for Minnesota? They move up to get their pick of forwards/bigs (Bryant, Newell, Murray Boyles, Sorber, etc.) or a potential faller. They also open up extra flexibility for the offseason by freeing up over $10mil.

Why for Atlanta? They move down slightly to get a strong sixth man guard who fits well next to Daniels and Young.

I think Atlanta could get similar level shooters for free just by taking on the contract. Might could even get a small incentive on some of them. Not sure they would drop back and take on the money?

[psman2]

Hawks are likely bringing Levert back in that 6th man role. But I could see them preferring DDV at this cost but likely into the MLE and keep the big TPE fully intact.

[Godaddycurse]

think wolves need to add in 31

I don’t have a problem trading DDV into someone’s ntMLE, but if this is all DiVincenzo is worth these days, I think MIN keeps him and develops continuity. We saw in NYK that he can be a player worth a lot more than his $12 mil salary.

[wolves_89]

The Wolves have a huge need for good rotation players on relatively cheap contracts, so I'm doubtful they would trade DiVincenzo to move up from 17 to 13 in a draft where there is a fairly flat tier of talent from the late lottery to the early 20s.

[ReggiesKnicks]

Minnesota needs to be consolidating their current players to get an upgrade, likely with Randle or Gobert as the basis of salary and value and then bolstered by Picks/Players. They have depth, but they need more higher-end talent.

I don't like this direction for them.

Atlanta shouldn't be doing this either, at least not at this evaluation. They can get a very good player at #13 and I don't consider Donte DiVincenzo to be a needle mover for them, especially not after acquiring similar talented player in Terrence Mann.

[One_and_Done]

Wolves say no. They're trying to win right now. This is horrible for them, because DDV is a good player.

[Klomp]

I think it's an interesting trade concept, but I agree with everyone else saying that the value isn't right for Minnesota.
