After two days of having to wait for the NBA red tape to go through, the Timberwolves were able to officially welcome Ricky Rubio back to the Twin Cities by completing their trade with Oklahoma City.
The Wolves sent the 17th pick in this year’s draft, Aleksej Pokuševski, a second-round pick in 2024 and James Johnson to the Thunder in exchange for Rubio and the No. 28 pick Jaden McDaniels.
Helping complete a web of trades to land them the 23rd pick, the Wolves also officially acquired that player, Leandro Bolmaro, in exchange for the draft rights to Mathias Lessort (a 2017 pick) and Detroit’s 2023 second rounder that the Wolves officially acquired late Thursday night.
