After the Timberwolves traded for D'Angelo Russell in February 2020, there was always a better than 50-50 chance that draft night 2021 would be a quiet one in Minnesota.
After the Wolves ceded their second-round choice and what turned out to be the No. 7 overall pick in this year's draft to the Golden State Warriors to complete that Russell-for-Andrew Wiggins trade, the Wolves enter Thursday night without any picks.
The Wolves could still make noise. President Gersson Rosas has said trades or sign-and-trades will be the main vehicle for tweaking the roster this offseason, and draft night is often when trades get made.
