Los Angeles:
- Terance Mann (age 26; two-years, $21.9M remaining)
- Marcus Morris Sr. (age 33; one-year, $17.1M remaining)
- Reggie Jackson (age 32; expiring contract)
This is another trade that I would entertain or consider, assuming Russell is priced out of an extension or if the Timberwolves front office wanted to go in another direction.
Id do the that deal for sure. Not sure the Clippers would want to ditch that much of their active roster. Though they could probably find a way to play Naz more than we could. Its also the perfect combination of wings for Dlo. I'd lean Wall and a 2nd instead of Jackson or Morris. I just dont think Dlo as an expiring is enough for the Clips to want to give up on Mann.

I don't necessarily look at it as Los Angeles giving up on Terance Mann. Similarly, I don't think Minnesota would be giving up on Naz Reid either. They're close in on-court impact and Reid is three years younger. I think there's an understanding that to get value you have to give up value. The Clippers have quality wing depth, but have very real needs at guard and center. Outside of Mann -- and Paul George and Kawhi Leonard -- they have nothing of substantial value to help them fill holes that they have via trade. They can probably rationalize that deal by getting a couple of impact players at areas of need and backfilling outgoing players with talent already on the roster.
For Minnesota, I think it's adequate value at areas of need despite giving up the best player in the trade. They also maintain future salary moving forward even with Reggie Jackson expiring because Mann's extension kicks in next year.
As an aside, I have very little interest in John Wall. I would much rather have Marcus Morris Sr. in that return.
