The Minnesota Timberwolves last played the playoffs in 2018, when Jimmy Butler was still part of the team. Ever since that, they have struggled to win and be a competitive team in the league. People believe the duo of Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell was going to change that but nothing has happened so far.
They are very high on Anthony Edwards and it seems like the 2020 No. 1 overall pick will be the centerpiece of their future, according to recent reports. Edwards is doing very interesting things on the court this season and although the T-Wolves are still the worst team in the league, this kid is ready to lead them to the promised land in the future.
That said, Minnesota is reportedly ready to part ways with their talented duo in the offseason. According to Evan Massey, the T-Wolves could be making huge changes on the roster, including trading KAT and D’Lo to have a fresh start in the association.
The Minnesota #Timberwolves could be headed towards major changes in the offseason. In fact, one source tells @HoopAnalysisNet that both Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell will be on the trade block.

Russell’s contract is a huge win and ever since he left the Brooklyn Nets, things haven’t gone well for him. He struggled with the Golden State Warriors and hasn’t stepped up with Minnesota.
As for Towns, he has always been touted as the next big thing in the league, and even though he’s good, he hasn’t lived up to the expectations. The Dominican-American player is seen as ‘soft’ by a lot of people and that could change the exchange the team can get from him.
This team hasn’t been good in a long time and it’s the moment to shake things up, focus on Anthony Edwards’ development and see if he can turn things around in Minny.
