There's always a way.
Why are people assuming the Wolves don't want Covington?
This guy has 4 years left making on average $11.7M/yr.
He's finished in the top 5 in +/- at the SF the last 2 years, and was #1 last year. He's one of the best defenders in the league and shoots in the upper 30's from 3. He is one of the best contracts in the NBA that isn't a rookie. He's 6'9". He's not your #1 or even #2 guy, but he is exactly what a team like the Pels need to play with AD and Jrue.

Minnesota isn't letting him go, and if they do, they are retarded. We could do a simple Wesley for Covington trade. I'd give them 2 unprotected 1sts with that too, and they'd still be dumb to do that trade.

On top of all of the reasons you listed, I'm sure they had other offers with decent current players on the table. If they took the one from Philly, it's because they want those players more than other assets they could have had.

I agree. He's a support piece you want around Town. But the chance they do something dumb is high given their FO + ownership.

I wish they had more guys worth pursuing because I think they could be sellers.

Ziller makes the case that they should reframe their timeline around Towns and the next 4 years, rather than pushing to get back in the playoffs immediately
