The Minnesota Timberwolves could make a big splash in the trade market this offseason as they look to try and return to the Western Conference Finals.
Bleacher Report contributor Grant Hughes suggests a trade that would send Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, Joan Barringer, and the No. 28 overall pick to the Washington Wizards for Anthony Davis.

“This one is admittedly easier to understand from the Wolves’ side, as they’re giving up a player in Randle who used the most recent postseason to confirm he can’t be a second option on a contender,” Hughes wrote.
“Davis would replace him in the first unit next to Rudy Gobert, perhaps cramping spacing but very likely making up for it on defense. Minnesota would be assured of having a dominant force in the middle at all times, and Naz Reid’s shooting would complement both AD and Gobert.”
Trading for Davis would be a risk for the Wolves given his recent injury history, but it could unlock new potential for the Wolves’ frontcourt. Davis has desired to play the power forward spot recently, but he has been asked to play center. With the Wolves, he could be a legitimate power forward, which is his best position.
It would cost the Wolves a lot for Davis, but given the fact that DiVincenzo has one year left on his deal and Randle can opt out after the 2026-27 campaign, it isn’t a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.
