The Minnesota Timberwolves, Washington Wizards, and Philadelphia 76ers are three teams that continue to struggle in the early goings of the regular season. NBA rumors are not spreading that alleged trade deal between the three teams is in the works right now with John Wall, Ricky Rubio, and Kris Dunn as part of trade offers.
The Timberwolves are expected to have at least a decent showing this season for having young and talented players plus a head coach who is known to be a winner. But they are still struggling to find their rhythm. Some observed that they lack a veteran superstar who can lead them which was already pointed out earlier by Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau.
Same goes for Wizards, who are on a recent slump losing 4 games in their last 6 assignment. Some say that it is because they lost significant supporting cast this season like Nene Hilario, Ramon Sessions, Drew Gooden and others. But others are speculating that is mainly because of the rift between John Wall and Bradley Beal.
Meanwhile, the 76ers are dead last in the Eastern Conference division having their own misery and many believe that they will go through the same fate that happens to them last season if they do nothing. With this, a proposed NBA trade deal between the Timberwolves, Wizards and 76ers is assumed to be in discussion right now.
The NBA trade scenario is suggesting the following:
1. The Minnesota Timberwolves will acquire John Wall from the Wizards and Robert Covington from the 76ers;
2.The Washington Wizards will then get Jahlil Okafor from the 76ers and Ricky Rubio, Shabazz Muhammad plus three future draft picks from the Timberwolves;
3. Finally, the Philadelphia 76ers will receive Kris Dunn from the Timberwolves.
Earlier reports on NBA trade rumors by Fadeaway World had said that the Timberwolves is one of the possible destination for John Wall and they could be right. Wall will give the Timberwolves a true point guard leader that could guide them to a winning record. It is also intriguing to see the starting five of Wall, Zach Lavine, Andrew Wiggins, Gorgui Deng and Karl-Anthony Towns could do on the court.
On the Wizards part, with their acquisition they might go for an early rebuild process. Rubio, Muhammad, and Okafor are still young and can be the Wizards foundation in the future.
While the 76ers will finally get a point guard who has the potential to become a superstar that can stabilize their backcourt. The trade will also work under the NBA trade rules and salary cap policy making it a legal deal to all teams involved as per checking with ESPN NBA Trade Machine.
Will this NBA rumor come into frution? Will Minnesota Timberwolves, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers agree to this trade and see John Wall, Ricky Rubio and Kris Dunn on different uniforms?
