A proposed three-team trade could swap three different star forwards. The Wolves would acquire Brandon Ingram, New Orleans gets Miles Bridges, and Charlotte acquires Julius Randle . While this trade works due to contracts, all three teams would have to add another player or some future draft capital to sweeten up the deal.

Will Minnesota try to trade Randle before the Feb. 6 deadline? If they do, will the decision backfire. If they don't, will they regret it?
