Minnesota Timberwolves
Things have not gone well for the Minnesota Timberwolves for nearly two decades. The team has had one playoff appearance, in 2018, in the last 17 years. That is not going to get it done and they need to start winning games sooner than later.
There is hope that winning isn’t far away. Once healthier, this Timberwolves team played well down the stretch of the season, going 11-11 in the final 22 games. D’Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, and Karl-Anthony Towns are a nice nucleus to build upon. But, the one spot they could use some help at is power forward.
The Timberwolves are high on Jaden McDaniels, but they were also in the market for a power forward this offseason. Lauri Markkanen was someone linked to the Timberwolves, as were Atlanta Hawks Danilo Gallinari and John Collins.
Nothing occurred on those fronts, but if they do want to make a change at the position, the Timberwolves could have some interest in Kristaps Porzinigs. What he and Towns could do offensively in the frontcourt would be a lot of fun to watch.

But, given how poorly he has taken to the treatment of Luka Doncic, would Porzingis be willing to be at best third fiddle to Edwards and Towns on the Timberwolves?
