The Timberwolves trade for Monté Morris from the Pistons, sending Shake Milton, Troy Brown Jr., and a 2030 second-round pick in return.
Morris, a career 39 percent shooter from 3-point range, is expected to enhance the Timberwolves' outside shooting and provide playoff experience.
The trade aims to address the Timberwolves' need for a reliable backup point guard and reduce turnovers, with Morris known for his excellent assist-to-turnover ratio.
