3 Reasons why Minnesota Timberwolves are a better team after the Butler trade

#1 The golden boy Robert Covington

Portland Trail Blazers v Minnesota Timberwolves

Robert Covington was not the main guy when he was with the 76sixers. He was a good defender who could shoot the three-pointer.

But after his trade to the Wolves, he has been a blessing to them. In the last game, he scored 21 points, shooting 39% from beyond the three-point line, and was the leading scorer for the team. Also, he had nine rebounds, one block and one steal in the match.

His numbers clearly show that he is a two-way player who has a lot of potential in him. He puts pressure on the player he is defending and make him work a lot hard for the buckets.

When you trade a guy like Butler and get two-way athletes like Covington, and Dario Saric in return, I would take that deal eyes closed.

Covington has energized this team, and they are playing one of the best basketball they have ever played together.
