1: Minnesota Timberwolves

After giving up five first-round picks to Danny Ainge and the Jazz in exchange for Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves have started off the season not looking like a contender in the West. Minnesota’s off to a 7-8 start, and that includes a blowout loss to New York.

The Timberwolves starting point guard D’Angelo Russell is in the final year of a four-year deal that he signed with the Nets. In the summer, he’ll become an unrestricted free agent. Reportedly, there weren’t discussions between the two sides about an extension before the October deadline, which likely had something to do with the drop off in Russell’s performance over the past two seasons.

With Russell’s future in Minnesota unclear and backup point guard Jordan McLaughlin not being much to write home about, the Timberwolves could very well be one of the teams that have reached out to the Knicks about Immanuel Quickley.

Quickley’s struggled on the offensive end in the first month of the season, but his positive impact on the defensive end is something that Russell hasn’t been able to achieve in Minnesota. With the front office pondering Russell’s future, trading for IQ is something that should’ve already crossed Tim Connelly’s mind.
