The Minnesota Timberwolves are expected to be a very busy team this week.
On Monday night, a report surfaced that the Timberwolves were discussing a deal that would send forward Chase Budinger and point guard J.J. Barea to the Memphis Grizzlies in return for veteran forward Tayshaun Prince, who would give the team more of a defensive presence.
The Timberwolves are also after a backup point guard and have long had interest in Denver Nuggets‘ veteran point guard Andre Miller and one reporter calls the Timberwolves Miller’s “top choice.”
On Tuesday, Timberwolves’ head coach Rick Adelman spoke about Thursday’s trade deadline.

The Timberwolves are certainly a team to watch over the next 48 hours.
