The start of the season has not gone as planned for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After making a major trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to New York in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo just before the season began, the Wolves have faced difficulties in adjusting and finding their rhythm.
Currently, Minnesota holds a record of 11-10, placing them 10th in the Western Conference. However, they have been on a three-game win streak, which has helped them climb above .500 and provide some hope moving forward.
Despite the recent success, the Timberwolves are still in a position where they are looking at the possibility of a Play-In Tournament spot, leading many in the front office to expect activity before the trade deadline.
One potential move could involve trading Julius Randle, as his style has not quite meshed with the team’s offensive system. Randle’s tendency to dominate the ball and his struggles with a consistent three-point shot have made the offense seem disjointed at times.
Meanwhile, Donte DiVincenzo has been tasked with taking on more playmaking duties, a role that has reportedly hindered his performance. The veteran guard has yet to find his rhythm, particularly with his three-point shooting, which has been inconsistent this season.
This lack of cohesion has led to speculation that changes might be made to help the Timberwolves find a more fluid offensive system.
