CP3 to Minnesota

This trade is certainly the most interesting destination for me. It has a feel to Kawhi to Toronto or Paul George to Oklahoma City. Minnesota is a smaller market team that would not be able to afford the high price of CP3 but has the pieces to trade for him.

For Houston, getting Wiggins out of Minnesota may help maximize his potential, and Saric could play off Harden, similar to how Kevin Love played off of LeBron James. For the Wolves, they get a couple of veteran players that could fit nicely into their lineup. Nene could possibly help Karl-Anthony Towns with getting stronger, and tougher in the paint.

For Chris Paul, the Timberwolves get a pick and roll duo of Paul and KAT that could develop very nicely, with Covington playing off the ball and locking up on defense. This an interesting third-party deal for both sides, and maybe it can help Wiggins find his way back into stardom by being alongside James Harden.
