Minnesota Timberwolves

Overview:

Minnesota gives up a young player for a top-three protected pick next year which they can use on a player or in a trade. Perhaps to help them get Devin Booker?

Why Atlanta says yes:

Okogie can be a great wing both now and for years to come for the team.

Why Minnesota says yes:

As mentioned, the T-Wolves should value trade bait right now as they search for a third star to place next to KAT and D’Lo, and depending on where the Hawks pick lands next season, it could be more valuable than Okogie.

Why Atlanta says no:

If the Hawks underperforms next season, the one bright spot that losing teams usually has, a top draft pick, would likely be gone.

Why Minnesota says no:

Straight up, if the T-Wolves think of Okogie as a franchise guy moving forward, they do not make this trade.
