Big Three Via Wizards, Timberwolves and Celtics Reshuffle

[GreenlyGreeny]

Beal and Tatum are lifelong buddies from the same high school in a city without an NBA team. If we hand the keys to them, our duo is set the next decade (and the Boston Celtics are going to become extremely popular in St. Louis). But how do we get a Big 3? A ton of youth/picks to Minnesota, alongside the marketing of Westbrook (who the Wizards may want to move on from), for KAT:

BOS In: Beal, KAT, Rubio
BOS Out: Brown, Walker, R. Williams, Langford, Nesmith, 2021 1st, 2022 1st swap (MIN), 2023 1st, 2024 1st swap (MIN), 2025 1st, 2021 2nd

WAS In: Brown, Walker, 2021 BOS 2nd, MIN Filler (Ed Davis)
Was Out: Beal, Westbrook

MIN In: Westbrook, R. Williams, Langford, Nesmith, 2021 1st, 2022 1st swap (MIN), 2023 1st, 2024 1st swap (MIN), 2025 1st
MIN Out: KAT, Rubio, Davis

Perhaps Minnesota moves D’Angelo Russell in a separate deal or tries a Westbrook/Russell/Edwards trio...in any case, got a feeling they’ll move on from KAT for a Harden-esque deal, particularly if marketing power is added to the mix in Westbrook...

Our lineup (still below the luxury line despite having a Big 3, and both Rubio and TT would be the perfect bookends to such firepower in the middle):

Rubio/Teague/Pritchard/Edwards
Beal/Smart/Green
Tatum/Ojeyele
KAT/G. Williams
TT/Theis/Fall

Or perhaps this makes more sense:

Smart/Rubio/Pritchard/Edwards
Beal/Teague/Green
Tatum/Ojeyele
KAT/G. Williams
TT/Theis/Fall

So we have a Big 3 with balance, we’re below the luxury line, and we have enough picks to add future youth, too:

2021 Madar
2022 1st Swap
2022 2nd
2023 2nd (MIA/DAL/HOU)
2024 1st Swap
2025 2nd
2025 2nd (MEM)
2026-onward: All picks

If this deal is available, it’s a no-brainer for all three parties...
