While Jeff Teague, Tyus Jones, and Derrick Rose has nursed lower body injuries in recent weeks, the Minnesota Timberwolves have had to call upon Jerryd Bayless to step up.
Bayless has responded, posting 14.4 points and 7.1 assists on 40/54.3/67 shooting splits in seven games with his increased role.
Bayless has been a nice fill-in option and it would be smart for the Timberwolves to look to deal him before Thursday’s trade deadline.
It wouldn’t be super easy to move Bayless, as he makes $8.5 million and the Wolves would need to find a similar salary to bring back.
