The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly considering a trade involving a former Los Angeles Lakers forward for a star guard from the Memphis Grizzlies. While the Timberwolves made it to the postseason, they were eliminated in the Western Conference Semifinals by the San Antonio Spurs. Analysts suggest the Timberwolves might part with Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo in a deal for Ja Morant, who has faced scrutiny due to off-court issues and limited appearances last season. The Timberwolves are looking to improve their roster ahead of the 2026-27 season.
