They need high end talent either Wiseman or LaMelo would fit nicely as they can be developed with veterans such as Lowry or Gasol. Why for MIN? Anunoby is an ideal fit here: big, strong, mobile defender, can shoot from 3pt.
Draft Wiseman trade him, Evans, Spellman for Anunoby. Trade JJ, Culver, #16 pick for Batum, #8. We draft Hayes at #8. Resign ML, Martin, Beasley. Let Juancho go. Sign Kyle O'Quinn to min deal.

Both of those trades feel negative for Minnesota, especially the OG Anunoby one. OG is not worth a top two draft pick.

I would say so. Twenty-three (will be twenty-four next season) years old, averaged 16 PPG and 4 APG. Volume 40% three-point shooter (6.5 attempts this season before his injury), solid initiator (off-the-bounce and passing), and good off-the-ball.
When you look at a draft that projects to be this sub par, I feel a player like Kennard who perfectly fits the team-vision offensively is a pretty solid get at that cost.

HOU: James Johnson, #15, #16, and seconds
OUT: Robert Covington
Why for Houston? Get cost controlled assets and effectively undo the Covington aspect of the trade. Load up for the 2021 off-season.
MIN: Robert Covington and Jonathan Isaac
OUT: James Johnson, #1, #16, and seconds.
Why for Minnesota? Complement the worst defensive duo in NBA History with two of the top defensive players in the League.
D’Angelo Russell / Jordan McLaughlin
Malik Beasley / Jarrett Culver
Robert Covington / Josh Okogie
Jonathan Isaac / Jake Layman
Karl-Anthony Towns / Naz Reid
ORL: #1
OUT: Jonathan Isaac and #15
Why for Orlando? Get Anthony Edwards (or whomever) and balance out the roster.
I think Minnesota does way too well, but it is a framework.

PHI might be worried about being able to afford locking Richardson in longterm, or so it was suggested by a PHI poster on the trade board. MIN gets a defensive upgrade without hurting their offense.
Btw, Beasley as a starter on the Wolves for 14 games averaged 20/5/2 shooting 42.6% from 3P
