"This deal gives the Hawks a genuine co-star on offense for Trae Young, providing an interesting two-man game that could be beneficial for Randle and the Hawks. The Timberwolves land better-fitting role-players around Edwards who will hit shots and bolster the team's rotation, while also landing the Wolves another valuable draft asset."

The Timberwolves will be without Julius Randle for two weeks or more after the injury he suffered against the Jazz.

The road for the Minnesota Timberwolves to climb the standings in the West just got more difficult because forward Julius Randle will be out for at least two weeks.
