Figure out long-term plan to success

The biggest reason why the Timberwolves have struggled over the years is because they have not had an identity and they have not had a long-term plan. Draft wise, they have gone with the best talent that falls their way and they really have not made any big moves in free agency. 

Last year, things finally started to change when they traded for D’Angelo Russell, getting rid of Andrew Wiggins in the process and when they ended up with the No. 1 overall pick, ultimately selecting Anthony Edwards.

Now, with a core of Karl-Anthony Towns, D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards with other guys like Malik Beasley and Jaden McDaniels, the Timberwolves have something going for them, but they need to ask themselves what’s next? How are they going to start winning games and which players are going to be a part of this organization’s potential long-term success? 

Minnesota has been linked to numerous NBA trade rumors in the offseason revolving around Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell, so what they decide to do as an organization roster wise could have major implications on how they see things playing out in the future.
