The NBA Draft is upon us, and the Minnesota Timberwolves don’t have a draft pick.

Sure, it would be more exciting to have a draft pick, but the uncertainty of what the Wolves front office might do on draft night is arguably just as exciting.

If there is ever a time to make trades, the NBA Draft is generally a perfect time to make them. Remember, the Wolves acquired Jimmy Butler on draft night in 2017. Last year, the Wolves landed Ricky Rubio and added an extra first-round selection.
