If the ancient Greeks believed that the center of the known world (and at that time, the universe) was Delphi, Greece, then it falls to reason that the center of the NBA at the upcoming 2024 NBA Trade Deadline is the Minnesota Timberwolves. How so? Well, NBA experts, analysts, and pundits continue to point to the Timberwolves roster expecting the team to break up the frontcourt due to the investments made by the team already. And so far, that simply has not happened.
That may be the plan all along.
When the Timberwolves traded for All-Star center Rudy Gobert, I don’t believe that the Minnesota Timberwolves were not aware of the salary commitments that the team assumed with that trade.
