Minnesota Timberwolves Proposed to Trade for Elite Shooter After Kuminga Move
An interesting Minnesota Timberwolves trade idea would swap Josh Green for Buddy Hield after the Jonathan Kuminga move. The post Minnesota Timberwolves Proposed to Trade for Elite Shooter After Kuminga Move appeared first on HEAVY.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are considering a trade to acquire veteran sharpshooter Buddy Hield after recent moves like acquiring Jonathan Kuminga. An analyst suggests that Hield's addition would provide the team with a different dynamic compared to Josh Green, who may become redundant due to Kuminga's inclusion. The Timberwolves would receive Hield while sending Josh Green and a 2030 second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks.
Hield's move would help the Timberwolves save some money, as they operate as a first apron luxury tax team and Hield's expiring $10M player option for 2027-28 could be traded again. The Hawks, on the other hand, are looking to manage their crowded backcourt, which now includes Devin Carter, Ryan Nembhard, Kingston Flemings, CJ McCollum, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels.
Hield's inclusion may not be as valuable as the team hoped, as he struggled to find playing time and averaged career lows across the board.
