There are a wealth of teams that are harboring disgruntled or handcuffed players across the NBA, and the Minnesota Timberwolves have the talent to make measurable upgrades to their roster.
The word is out on D’Angelo Russell. His speed and overall play has hampered the Wolves, forcing management’s hand to seek a floor general elsewhere. To cast Russell as the lone scapegoat is not altogether fair, as there have been other detracting factors damaging the team.
Rudy Gobert is not an optimal fit. Minnesota does not play as fast, which in turn limits their once high octane offense that led the league a season prior.
