The #1 Seed Minnesota Timberwolves will NOT get better THIS SEASON by trading one of their bigs.
National Media still saying this doesn’t work and they need a trade to get better this season clearly do not watch the team.

Sure, I doubt there is an available trade that would be beneficial to the Wolves.

But a small sample size 7.3 net rating, while good, isn’t screaming that these two are a great fit destined for playoff success. Especially when this is below the average net rating of several Wolve’s players including Towns.

I mean when those two are playing it is almost always against the other teams starters. When one is off the court the other team is playing their bench. It's somewhat expected.

Somewhat expected for what? What is the expectation here?

There are other high profile combinations that are doing better than this, and many teams best performing lineup combinations are their starters.
