Why The Minnesota Timberwolves Do The Deal

Of course, while the Dallas Mavericks have already made moves this summer, none were nearly as splashy as the one the Minnesota Timberwolves made this summer.

In fact, they made a deal so large that it changed the league’s market. In total, the Timberwolves traded three rotation players, one rookie and four first-round picks for Rudy Gobert.

In other words, they’ve got room for two more rotation players to spare.

They ought to use it on Finney-Smith. While the frontcourt tandem of Karl-Anthony Towns and Gobert will give this team tremendous advantages in plenty of situations, it won’t work in everyone.

Finney-Smith would make for a great reserve here. The Timberwolves could use him in situations where Gobert is ran off the floor, or when they need defense over offense.

The Timberwolves got the talent. If Anthony Edwards can take a leap, they may have their own recipe for championship contention. Adding a little frontcourt versatility will only make it stronger.
