NBA Trade Rumors: 5 players that the Minnesota Timberwolves should target this off-season

#3 Myles Turner

Myles Turner could not only be the perfect big man for the Minnesota Timberwolves but would also match the franchise's roster impeccably.

The 24-year-old is almost an All-Star-level player. He is versatile at the offensive end and is not only a force on the inside but is also a threat from behind the arc. Moreover, Myles Turner is an excellent rim protector who can also defend relatively well when he is dragged out of the paint on a switch.

As the Indiana Pacers already have Domantas Sabonis, the franchise will likely let Myles Turner go for cheap, something the Minnesota Timberwolves should look to capitalize on by trying to acquire him this off-season.

#4 Victor Oladipo

Indiana Pacers star, Victor Oladipo, is another player in this list who has been a part of a plethora of NBA trade rumors in recent weeks.

Despite only recently coming back from a serious injury, the 28-year-old has shown rapid improvement and could very soon get back to the level he was once at.

At his best, Victor Oladipo is a disruptor at the defensive end, one who thwarts the opposition's passing lanes and picks the pockets of ball-handlers. In offense, he is an explosive athlete who can not only drive inside and score at will but also light it up from behind the arc on occasion.

If the Minnesota Timberwolves take a risk on Victor Oladipo, he could be the third star the franchise needs to improve its roster significantly.

#5 Fred VanVleet

Fred VanVleet

At just 26, Fred VanVleet is already an NBA champion but is only barely in his prime.

VanVleet is elite at both ends of the floor. In offense, he is not only one of the best shooters in the NBA but can also facilitate and create shots for his teammates. At the other end of the court, he can disrupt any play through his tireless movement, making the opposition more uncomfortable as the game goes on.

With the Toronto Raptors star entering free agency, Fred VanVleet will undoubtedly field interest from several teams. However, if the Minnesota Timberwolves can find a way to acquire him, the team could take a giant leap forward next season.
