The Minnesota Timberwolves find themselves as buyers prior to the NBA trade deadline. The team made a risky offseason deal that set the team back instead of elevating them to the next level. Karl-Anthony Towns is having a MVP-caliber season with the New York Knicks.

In addition to that, both players they got in return, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, have had significantly less productive seasons. It is because of this, the best option for the Wolves is to trade one of the two players.

In a new proposed trade, the Wolves sent Julius Randle to the Bulls for guard Lonzo Ball and forward Jalen Smith.
