The Minnesota Timberwolves are trading Shake Milton, Troy Brown Jr. and a 2030 second-round pick to the Detroit Pistons for point guard Monte Morris, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

According to Yahoo! Sports' Jake Fischer and Hoops Hype's Michael Sciotto, the Wolves have shown interest in Washington's Tyus Jones, Bones Hyland of the Los Angeles Clippers and Detroit's Monte Morris.

Earlier this week, three players – Atlanta's Bogdan Bogdanovic, Washington's Tyus Jones and Brooklyn's Royce O'Neale – entered the rumor mill as potential "best fits" for the Timberwolves and a few other teams, and the belief from insider Jon Krawczynski is that Minnesota recognizes its rare chance as a true contender and could use that as a springboard to be aggressive before the Feb. 8 NBA trade deadline.

The Timberwolves have been tied to several names as the NBA’s trade deadline approaches on Thursday. Two more names to keep an eye on are the Washington Wizards’ Delon Wright and the Detroit Pistons’ Alec Burks, according to HoopsHype.
