Timberwolves Get Promising Young Point Guard in This Trade Idea

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a little thin at point guard. Mike Conley is getting way up there in age and can no longer be relied on for heavy minutes. Rob Dillingham, who has shown promise, doesn’t look ready for a starting role. That’s why so many Timberwolves trade rumors have started around the idea that the Wolves need to pick up another point guard.

Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report proposed “1 Trade Every NBA Team Would Make If the Deadline Was Today,” and he proposed one trade that would bring a pretty solid starting point guard to the Timberwolves. 

"The trade: Coby White to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Rob Dillingham, Joan Beringer, and Leonard Miller

Are the Bulls finally ready to pull the plug on their annual push for the play-in tournament? History would suggest not, but coach Billy Donovan seemed to at least acknowledge his club's humbling place on the hoops world's pecking order.

With the Timberwolves having "targeted" White, per Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bulls should be hearing opportunity's knock. This deal would not only allow them to add to their undermanned young core, but it would also get them out of having to figure out White's tricky worth in unrestricted free agency this coming summer."

This trade is a no-brainer for the Timberwolves. Dillingham isn’t giving the Wolves much at all, and neither are Beringer or Miller. In fact, the hardest thing about this trade becoming a reality is that it doesn’t make much sense at all for the Bulls. 

Trading Coby White for essentially nothing just doesn’t fully make sense. Surely someone will offer the Bulls a more interesting package than this one.
