Minnesota Timberwolves
NBA Trade Deadline target: Alec Burks, Detroit Pistons
Who could've predicted that the Minnesota Timberwolves would be sitting atop the Western Conference standings through the first month of the season? It's been amazing to watch as the Wolves have begun to grow into their own as a team. I don't think it's fair to expect them to remain near the top of the West all season long, but it just goes to show just how talented this team is and what type of potential that they have.
But it's safe to say that this team is going to lean into their hot start and will be all-in on potentially making a move that will maximize their solidifying themselves as a real threat to make some noise in the Western Conference playoffs. One player that the team could look to target is Alec Burks.
Burks is a player that could add depth on the wing. He may not be a great defender but he's a player that's going to work hard on both ends of the floor. As a good 3-point shooter, he'd help be a weapon on the offensive end of the floor as well.
