The Minnesota Timberwolves have just two days to improve (or restructure) their team via a trade. The trade deadline, February 8th at 3 pm, is usually one of the most exciting times in the NBA, as teams are frantically engaged in a flurry of discussions.
The Wolves, for their part, would typically be a team that is designated as a “buyer,” as they are amidst their first real playoff push in more than a decade. The team could certainly use some help on the wing position (as we have been noting since the summer) and during the playoffs that need could become even more apparent as the Wolves have a good chance to face a team like the Warriors or Rockets that will go small and play a bunch of rangy wings.
