Would this trade make sense for the Minnesota Timberwolves?

The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to be one of the biggest rebuilding teams in the NBA. Despite having some notable players, the Timberwolves have been unable to build a winner in a difficult Western Conference.

The addition of Ben Simmons would not make it a lock for the Timberwolves to make the postseason right away but it would certainly give them a stronger core.

As of now, Anthony Edwards is the only player in Minnesota that should feel comfortable with his status. All other options could be used in trade — including Karl-Anthony Towns. Instead, Minnesota should be looking to put a long-term piece with Towns.

D’Angelo Russell has shown some impressive flashes at times but managing to upgrade at the position by acquiring Ben Simmons would go a long way.

Making a deal to land Simmons would give the Timberwolves a point guard that could remain at the top of the office for years to come. The team would improve defensively while adding more playmaking as well.
