Timberwolves make Blockbuster move

The Timberwolves made the biggest Minnesota sports splash of the day, reportedly acquiring guard LaMelo Ball and wing Josh Green from the Charlotte Hornets. In return, Minnesota is sending out fan favorite Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps, and three second-rounders. ESPN’s trade breakdown lists the full package and gave Minnesota a D-plus grade, pointing to the risk of moving so much future draft capital. CBS Minnesota also reported the deal, citing ESPN’s Shams Charania. For the Wolves, the move adds a high-profile playmaker next to Anthony Edwards — but it comes at a steep price.
