The Minnesota Timberwolves are considering a trade to acquire Ja Morant from the Memphis Grizzlies. Morant, viewed as a dynamic lead guard that the Timberwolves need, would join Anthony Edwards in an explosive backcourt.

The Timberwolves aim to enhance their roster after reaching the Western Conference Finals in the last two seasons but falling short.
