Why The Minnesota Timberwolves Do The Deal
For the Timberwolves, this is about correcting course.
It doesn’t feel like Towns is capable of playing the 4 alongside Rudy Gobert. Granted, some Wolves fans will protest our logic here. They’ll say that the pair would have figured it out if Towns hadn’t gotten hurt.
Perhaps. It just didn’t look like it was going that way. By contrast, the Wolves would have a more sensible roster on paper following this deal.
Rozier feels like the perfect second offensive option behind Anthony Edwards. The Wolves’ new guard based attack would allow them to play faster.
