Why The Minnesota Timberwolves Do The Deal 

It should. Admittedly, this deal makes the Wolves’ big-man rotation crowded.

We’re assuming that they’re letting Naz Reid go in free agency if they make this deal – otherwise, they’ll have too much cap space invested in 5s. 

With that assumption in mind, this makes sense for Minnesota. Gobert demands a starting spot – that will not be true with Adams.

Perhaps acquiring a solid defensive big to back Towns up was always the better decision. Meanwhile, the versatile Clarke is a combo big.

Should the Grizzlies send him to Minnesota?
