The Minnesota Timberwolves are exploring a significant offseason move after another playoff run, with rival scouts reportedly identifying Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and the No. 28 pick as a potential package for an established All-Star-level player.

According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, multiple scouts around the league believe Minnesota is preparing for a major roster change that would not involve franchise cornerstone Anthony Edwards or emerging forward Jaden McDaniels. The Timberwolves are looking to reshape the roster around Edwards, but their most ambitious targets do not currently appear available.

The names most connected to Minnesota’s search include Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irving, although Siegel noted that those paths currently appear unlikely. Minnesota is reportedly no longer in the mix for Antetokounmpo, while Leonard and Irving are not viewed as available trade targets.

The Timberwolves finished the 2025-26 regular season 49-33, earning the sixth seed in the Western Conference. They advanced through the first round before losing to the eventual Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs in six games.

Randle played a major role in Minnesota’s regular-season success, starting all 79 games and averaging 21.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. He shot 48.1% from the field but struggled with efficiency during the playoffs, averaging 16.0 points on 39.0% shooting across 12 postseason games.

The 31-year-old forward is entering the second season of a three-year, $100 million contract that includes a player option in the final year, making his contract a major factor in any potential trade discussions.

DiVincenzo also became a key piece for Minnesota during the season, averaging 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 37.9% from three-point range. In the playoffs, he increased his impact, averaging 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists while hitting 47.8% of his three-point attempts.

However, DiVincenzo suffered a torn Achilles tendon after an awkward landing in the first quarter of Game 4 of the first round. The injury ended his postseason and is expected to sideline him for a significant portion of next season. The 29-year-old is entering the final year of a four-year, $46.9 million contract.

Minnesota’s priority remains building around Edwards, who averaged 28.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists during the regular season while shooting 39.9% from three-point range. The Timberwolves also view McDaniels as part of their long-term core after he averaged 14.8 points and shot 41.2% from beyond the arc.
