I would take that if I was Minnesota.  The later picks could work out well.

There would have to be at least 1 probable top pick involved...

Unprotected picks 3, 5, and 7 years down the line could be nice assets.

If they wait until next week, Knight + Chriss + picks gets them there.

I don't think they can trade either player in conjunction with another player, because they recently received them while they were over the cap. Correct me if I'm wrong.

They can’t be traded with other players (aggregated) for 60 days from the original trade. That’s October 31.

That sounds good but for late 1st round picks isn't that big of a deal...
That is very good depending on the protections.  Good chance Butler doesn't even re-sign with Houston.  How good is Houston going to be in 2023, 2025 or even 2021 when Paul will be 36 and Harden will be 32?  They don't have any young talent besides Capela.  Even the 2019 pick could be better than expected.  Paul's missed 20+ games the past two seasons.

That CP3 contract is going to very quickly be the worst one in the NBA I reckon

Brown was arguably a top 5-7 player of any team in the playoffs

Paying 36 year old players not named Lebron 40M+ isn't a good idea.  The Wall contract will probably be the worst.
