10. Minnesota Timberwolves

Minnesota has been home to one of the best, yet disappointing, young squads in the league. With highly praised prospects such as Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, it’s hard to believe they have failed to see any sustained success thus far.

This is one reason as to why Jimmy Butler wanted out of Minnesota. He was frustrated with their work ethic and felt as if they didn’t care enough. This lack of effort is displayed on the court frequently by Wiggins and Towns.

If the Timberwolves decided to trade Andrew Wiggins, Robert Covington and a 2019 second round pick, it might be satisfactory to the Warriors. Covington is an elite two-way player on the court and is the definition of constant effort.

Meanwhile, the Warriors could give their best shot at motivating Wiggins to become the star he was projected to be. If they are successful in this attempt, the Dubs would walk away with a huge victory in this trade.
