What if the Wolves used the $10.7M TPE created from the Mike Conley trade to acquire Denver's 26th overall pick to take on the last 2 years of Zeke Nnaji's contract?

Yes, Zeke Nnaji is one of the worst contracts in the NBA. However, Tim Connelly did draft the Lakeville North alum in 2020. Wolves would obviously get some PF/C depth following the Julius Randle trade. More importantly, Minnesota would get back into the 1st round. Tim could either keep both picks or package them to move up a few spots to draft Labaron Philon if he slides out of the lottery. Either way, taking on some salary to buy a late 1st rounder would offset the draft pick loss of the Randle trade and make it look a bit better in retrospect.
