Timberwolves

Lose: Towns

Get: Siakam

Reasoning: The 2 big lineup isn’t gonna work in the playoffs defensively. Gobert is the better pairing with Ant and Siakam is a more natural fit at the 4 in their starting lineup, and helps with their calling card of being the best defensive team in the league.


Clippers

Lose: Norm

Get: Poeltl

Reasoning: Clippers desperately need another big more than they need Norm right now. Zubac is being asked to do pretty much all dirty work for them and it’s not sustainable. Plus, they’ll need Jakob if they run into Denver in a playoff series.


Raptors

Lose: Siakam, Poeltl

Get: Towns, Norm Powell

Reasoning: Moves Scottie to natural 4 position, adds more shooting and depth, especially offensively.


Trade works money wise, but can’t be done until January 14 (cause of Jakob)
