Minnesota Timberwolves: 5 offseason roster moves they need to make

The Minnesota Timberwolves had another season where they did not set the world on fire. The last time they were in the playoffs was in the 2017-18 season where they lost in the first round of the playoff. Other than that, the Timberwolves have not been in the postseason since they lost the 2004 Western Conference Finals.

The Timberwolves started the process of trying to get better last season when they traded former No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins, their 2021 first-round pick, and their 2021 second-round pick to the Golden State Warriors for Jacob Evans, Omari Spellman, and D’Angelo Russell.

Then, prior to this season, they traded James Johnson, Aleksej Pokusevski, and Mathias Thessort as part of a three-team trade. They got back Jaden McDaniel, Ricky Rubio, and the 2020 first-round pick that they used to select Leandro Bolmaro.
