Could the Minnesota Timberwolves make more moves?
The Minnesota Timberwolves have already made significant offseason changes, trading two of their top six players in the span of days.
The team effectively salary-dumped starting power forward Julius Randle, dealing him and their 2026 first round pick to the Brookyln Nets for a second round pick.
They followed up by trading backup power forward and 2024 Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid along with a signicant draft haul to the Charlotte Hornets inexchange for LaMaelo Ball and Josh Green.
With these two trades, the Timberwolves addressed a significant need for a secondary scorer and playmaker, but now have holes elsewhere.
Needing Frontcourt Help
According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, the Timberwolves aren't done making roster changes.
"They do not have a traditional power forward on the roster, and league sources say the Wolves are looking at several options for help at the four. They are also in the market to add more shooting around Ball and Edwards. The work continues, but the magnitude of the Ball trade means that the major deals are done now," he wrote.
Jaden McDaniels is their starting power forward at the moment, and while he can play the four in a small ball lineup, he's better served at playing small forward.
Rudy Gobert is set to return, but there is no real world where he plays the power forward position.
Joan Beringer, who is going into his sophomore season and barely played as a rookie, is their only other frontcourt player under contract. While he can play at power forward, he's more of an inside player and doesn't fit great next to Gobert.
The two played zero minutes together in 2025-26.
Potential Options
The Timberwolves don't have any salary cap space to work, but do have the mid-level exception to work with.
Kristaps Porzingis and Tobias Harris are both unrestricted free agents and would fill a need at power forward and shooting. Porzingis has health and injury issues that have limited him in years, but he's still a productive player on the floor and has championship experience.
Harris has put together a couple of productive seasons in Detroit and spaces the floor at the position. Both might be willing to take the mid-level exception to join a team that is expected to be competitive in the Western Conference, but they could also receive offers elsewhere.
Kenrich Williams could be a cheaper option if he and the Oklahoma City Thunder fail to reach an agreement.
Power forward will be the bigger need for Minnesota, and free agency shooting options aren't great, though Gary Trent Jr would be a solid addition.
