The money matters.
The players matter.
Lavine wants to be a Laker. Read up on things and his agent does not want NY. Did not say its Anti NY, but he wants LA.
And it makes more sense for Chicago to send him there.

Trade RJ, you have hole at SF.
trade Randle for Lavine, who plays PF?
Trade Randle for KAT, Minny saves a ton of money. But we have to send Evan, and might have to take a big back too.
Minny gets an all star PF to replace KAT and can still contend.
We do this every day. Details matter.

KFS podcast had a Wolves blogger on and he believes that the Wolves wouldn't want Randle in a Kat trade. He also said there's some sentiment that Naz Reid could simply fill in if Kat is ever traded.

Makes sense. He was resigned and perhaps good enough to start on many teams. At the same time Naz is insurance if Kat or Rudy are out for prolonged time.
This is a "Win now" year for Minny and I doubt if Kat is healthy and playing well, and he is, they would move him this year. They will be hitting that apron when Kats deal explodes and financially them might be incentivized. When? thats on ownership.
