The Minnesota Timberwolves have been dying to trade away Derrick Williams, and, for the time being, it appears that they have finally pulled off the undoable. According to Yahoo! Sports, the Timberwolves will trade Williams to the Kings for Luc Mbah a Moute, as long as the latter can pass his physical on Tuesday.
Mbah a Moute has been battling knee trouble for some time and if he can’t pass his physical, the trade would be rescinded — obviously.
