Why The Minnesota Timberwolves Do The Deal
Making this deal does not mean the Timberwolves are rebuilding. They’ve got too much talent to do that.
It means they’re retooling. In terms of win-now talent, this is a downgrade. On the other hand, it could make their roster more coherent.
Reuniting with Andrew Wiggins gives them an elite defensive frontcourt by pairing him with Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels.
It also allows the Wolves to play at a pace that should suit Anthony Edwards. With that said, this deal is also huge for their future.
