A Big Star? A Seventh Man? Days Dwindling for Timberwolves to Improve Roster
The Timberwolves aim to pair Giannis Antetokounmpo with Anthony Edwards to upgrade their roster, involving a multi-team trade amid salary cap and draft pick constraints.
- This coming week the Minnesota Timberwolves are pursuing a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, recruiting third and fourth teams, Brian Windhorst said.
- Minnesota believes adding a superstar would make the club a title contender as Anthony Edwards has raised his play to All-NBA level and they reached back-to-back Western Conference Finals.
- Facing second-apron restrictions, any Wolves offer would be built around current players like Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle, or Naz Reid, since Minnesota controls only 2028 and 2032 first-round picks.
- Over the next few days Connelly faces important decisions, as Minnesota, seeded fifth on Monday, considers fallback options like Coby White if the Giannis pursuit falls short.
- A successful blockbuster would pair Edwards with Antetokounmpo, requiring Minnesota roster restructuring and reshaping the league title race, though such all-in strategies risk future flexibility.
