This offseason, they will look to upgrade things around their cornerstones, Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. They are rumored to be shopping D’Angelo Russell, which means they could be in the market for another point guard.

This deal with the Los Angeles Lakers could help them achieve that, as Kendrick Nunn will be included along with Talen Horton-Tucker. Heading back to Los Angeles would be Malik Beasley, who would be a good fit.
