Ahead of the February 5 trade deadline, the Minnesota Timberwolves seem destined to make a move, especially for a point guard. However, adding a star can be ruled out. The Wolves were reportedly monitoring Trae Young and Ja Morant. On Wednesday, though, Jake Fischer reported that the Wolves are interested in any star guard, mainly due to salary concerns.
"How many key players would the Wolves have to sacrifice to match Young's salary? Answer: Too many," Fischer wrote. "Ditto for Morant or Ball ... especially during the season. The Wolves have prized depth ever since they made the difficult decision to part with Karl-Anthony Towns to turn that contract into Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.
