KAT could be a really good fit alongside barnes and is also 2 years younger than siakam.

Siakam could also be an amazing fit next to edwards and gobert and may be the final piece they need to make them legit contenders.

You can also then trade poelt for some bench pieces like cason wallace + salary filler and picks.

    I actually don’t mind this trade, I’m not a huge Kat fan mostly because I think he’s soft and not a great defender BUT he’s an elite scorer and his game fits with Scottie like a glove because he can shoot threes and move off the ball, he doesn’t need to be the focal point of an offense to score like Siakam does, he can play off the ball and give you 25ppg on a consistent basis which would be ideal next to Scottie…let Scottie be the hub and let Kat, OG, Schroder, Dick, and Otto play off of him

    That being said, I’m not sure if they do that trade because they’re playing well right now…I think Siakam is a better pairing next to Gobert but you would have to convince the Timberwolves of that lol
