It appears every team is taking their best shot at the two prized possessions on the trade block. Jimmy Butler and Paul George have been talked about relentlessly since the Warriors lifted the Larry O’Brien trophy. Talks of their potential moves have seemed imminent for days now. After much talk about the Lakers, Cavaliers, and Celtics, it appears the Minnesota Timberwolves have also joined the race, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
Minnesota continues to show interest in landing Paul George or Jimmy Butler, league sources tell @TheVertical.

One would have to think Zach Lavine would have to be involved in any trade involving those two players. Especially following his season ending injury, he is a prime candidate to be moved in any large trade that may happen. Nothing is for sure and rumors fly around faster around this time than any other. Remember, Minnesota was also reportedly in Jimmy Butler last season and nothing happened.
