The Minnesota Timberwolves still have one final roster spot left to fill. There has been speculation about what they will do with it, but many suspect they could try to bring in a veteran point guard to give the team a reliable backup ball handler.
At the same time, Minnesota is weighing their options concerning Jaylen Nowell. The upcoming fifth-year guard suffered from a subpar season in 2022-23 that left many thinking the Timberwolves would let him walk this summer. He is still yet to be re-signed by the team.
These two dilemmas are about to intersect, but perhaps not in the way a lot of fans think.
