Would this trade make sense for the Minnesota Timberwolves?
The Minnesota Timberwolves have made the postseason just once since 2015. They have failed to build around Karl-Anthony Towns and this means it could be time to blow it up once again. This is a continuous rebuild for the franchise and it could take another step in a deal such as this one.
The Timberwolves would be able to shed D’Angelo Russell and his contract here. This would give them a chance to add smaller deals that are easier to move. This is a method to clear cap space moving forward.
The Timberwolves have decisions to make regarding Towns but they could unload the perimeter players first. This means Russell and Malik Beasley.
The Western Conference is only improving and Minnesota is being left in the dust. It is going to be quite some time before they can get back to where they want to be in the conference.
