MILWAUKEE – An e-mail crept into the inbox of those who cover the Timberwolves during the team's 129-105 win over the Bucks. Several hours after the NBA trade deadline had passed Thursday afternoon, the Wolves finally made the trade for Monte Morris official.
That meant Morris' new teammates and coaches could speak about the fit he'll have on the team after the Wolves traded Shake Milton, Troy Brown and a 2030 second-round pick to Detroit to get him.
Coach Chris Finch said Morris' arrival should form an easy pairing as a backup to point guard Mike Conley.
