With the trade deadline just hours away from closing, fans were wondering if the Minnesota Timberwolves would pull off a move if they didn't end up landing Giannis Antetokounmpo. Given their need for guard play and general depth, standing pat would have been less than ideal. Luckily, Tim Connelly swooped in and traded for Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu along with Julian Phillips. The Wolves parted ways with Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, and four second-round picks in this trade.
So here’s the final deal, per sources:
