The Wolves are expected to be buyers heading into the trade deadline next month, sources told The Athletic. What remains to be seen is how big they are going to go. The Wolves have been interested in Ben Simmons from the moment he requested his trade from Philadelphia, and that has not changed. What also has not changed is the thorniness of the path to acquiring him. Towns and Edwards are off the table, and the belief has long been that the Wolves would need to find a third team to try to construct a package that would get Daryl Morey to sign off on a deal that sends Simmons to Minnesota.
