Ignoring salary issues who is the worst player you could swap out for one Wolves starter and make them a championship favorite/cofavorite?
One for one swap assuming they bring back Ayo as the other starting guard and they can make the salary work without losing Naz. Like obviously if you swap Wemby or Jokic for Rudy the Wolves go to the top of the list but going down if you straight up swapped Giannis for Rudy or Randle (keeping Reid and McDaniels) are the Wolves the favorite? A few other straight up swaps (not saying the other team would do it but if they did). Jaylen Brown for McDaniels, Tatum for Randle, Kawhi for Randle, Cade for Ayo, Bam for Rudy, Steph for Ayo, LeBron for Julius, KD for Julius, Jamal Murray or Jalen Brunson for Ayo. Basically to be the co-favorite with the Spurs and Thunder do they need a MVP candidate? A player in the 5-10 range? A player in the 10-15 range.
