The Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon is most likely to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the upcoming season. The Blazers were the talk of the town this whole summer, and even after they have completed the noisy trade, they are still grabbing the headlines. They always end up landing a less valuable point guard by trading off their own. They traded Damian Lillard to the Blazers and received Jrue Holiday, and now, when they traded off Jrue, they have Malcolm on their roster.
The Virginia Cavaliers product played 67 games last season and averaged 14.9 points, 3.7 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 44.4 percent from beyond the arc. The Timberwolves are set to make some major changes to their roster. Can they sign the 30-year-old to start their proceedings? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Portland Trail Blazers involving Malcolm Brogdon.
What would the Timberwolves offer for Malcolm Brogdon?
The Timberwolves are expected to offer Mike Conley and one second-round pick each from the years 2025 and 2029 in exchange for the Blazers’ #13. The Blazers do not have any specific requirement of the player as of now, and they are eyeing to trade him for the best return value possible. Will this satisfy them?
So the Blazers turned Damian Lillard into:

Why would the Timberwolves like to sign Malcolm Brogdon?
The Timberwolves have made some mistakes in the recent past. They signed Rudy Gobert to cover up for the shortcomings of Karl Anthony Towns but that failed to work. Now, they are replacing Conley, and if they decide to keep both Karl and Rudy to give them some more time together, it would be interesting to see how the trio performs.

Why would the Blazers trade-off Malcolm Brogdon?
The Blazers are going to rebuild in the post-Lillard era, and they are going to rely on their young core for the time being. This deal gives them a decent player and two draft picks, which might be enough for a rebuilding team.
How will the Blazers line up without Damian? Will the Timberwolves trade off either of Karl and Gobert? We’ll keep you updated.
