Roster Compliance

Minnesota would have 11 standard contract players after the trade and would need to get to 14 to be in roster compliance.

Contract Over

After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade Julius Randle since he has a player option next year which is worth $29.4M.

Financial

Timberwolves are unable to complete this trade. Incoming player salary ($51.1M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are an over second apron team, they are not able to aggregate players in a trade. This means for example, that they cannot send out two players to acquire one with a similar salary to both.

Financial
