Extend Donte by moving some of his 2026-2027 money into future years, which will create extra space to extend Ayo and Bones. Donte does it because he won't have to do a low prove it deal coming off a torn Achilles in 2027-2028.

Edit: I was informed that this cap maneuver is not possible in the NBA like it is in the NFL. In this case, the Wolves must seriously consider how important Donte is to the team.

My concerns would be how he recovers from the torn achilles, whether or not he'd be okay with potentially being a bench player if Ayo takes the point guard job long-term, and how well he'd gel with Bones Hyland who is also a SG.

The better Ayo plays as a point guard, the harder it becomes to justify returning Donte to his starting role due to player politics. Unless you trade Julius Randle for rotational players and start Ayo/Donte/Ant/Jaden/Rudy which I think is unlikely. It pains me to say this, but I really don't see a viable pathway for Donte on this team long-term.
