1. Trading with Philadelphia and Minnesota

The Philadelphia 76ers need to shake things up and the Minnesota Timberwolves are urgently looking to surround Karl-Anthony Towns with talent or risk losing him to frustration. Again, the Warriors should look to get involved in this mayhem.

For the Warriors:

What else can be said? Trading for a player such as Joel Embiid doesn’t take much consideration. Aside from injury concerns, Embiid is perhaps the best big man in the league and can completely change the game with his two-way impact.

For the 76ers:

Philly is reportedly looking to add versatile perimeter players to their roster. Andrew Wiggins is a great player for this role, averaging a career-high 24.8 points and looking like a much-improved player.

The 76ers also get a good bench scorer in Alec Burks and of course, the Warriors highly coveted 2020 Draft pick.

For the Wolves:

Minnesota accomplishes its goal of surrounding Towns with more talent by receiving D’Angelo Russell. These two make great sense as teammates, a perfect combination of perimeter and interior scoring.

Glenn Robinson III would help the Wolves add more wing talent and a second-round pick from Philly helps them for the future as well.
