Minnesota Timberwolves potential trade package for Giannis Antetokounmpo includes Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Rob Dillingham, and Joan Beringer.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the four favorite teams to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks, with only a couple of days left until the NBA trade deadline.
The Bucks are expected to seek young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks in return for Giannis, and the Timberwolves appear to be a team that could offer a solid package while also being willing to make a splash for a once-in-a-generation player like Giannis.
One key asterisk with Minnesota, however, is that they do not have any available first-round draft picks to trade until 2032, as they cannot trade first-round picks in consecutive years following the massive Rudy Gobert trade in 2022.

For Minnesota, it would most likely be necessary for another team to enter the deal for a trade to work, as one of the Bucks' key criteria is future draft picks, which the Timberwolves cannot trade.
However, when looking at the young players Minnesota could potentially include – especially Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, and former top-10 pick Rob Dillingham – this would most likely be the best package the Bucks could receive compared to other favored suitors such as the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, or the New York Knicks.
Still, without a third team getting involved, it appears the Timberwolves have the smallest chance of acquiring Giannis.
Additionally, given the risk that he might not re-sign with a small-market team, this move becomes even more questionable from Minnesota's perspective.
