Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: No. 6 Pick

Atlanta Hawks Receive: No. 17 Pick, Jarrett Culver

The logistics for this particular trade package are quite simple. The Minnesota Timberwolves would be packaging Jarrett Culver along with the No. 17 selection in the 2020 NBA Draft to move up.

With the Atlanta Hawks being one of the few teams in the NBA holding cap space, they would not be required to match salary with the Timberwolves to facilitate this deal. Overall, it makes them an advantageous trade partner to provide other teams with flexibility.

Let’s dive into why this trade would be beneficial from the perspectives of the Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves.
