The Minnesota Timberwolves are "undeniably serious" in their pursuit of LaMelo Ball, sources told Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

The Wolves have taken Jaden McDaniels off the table in any trade discussions.

The team prefers to "do right" and keep Donte DiVincenzo, who suffered a torn Achilles in the playoffs last season.

The Wolves also prefer to keep Naz Reid.

With the Wolves' trade of Julius Randle unable to be finalized until July 6, that deal could be expanded to help complete other transactions.

Ball was reportedly looking forward to playing this upcoming season with the Hornets.

With the Raptors already mentioned as another team pursuing Ball, the Bucks have also registered interest in the point guard.
