While the Timberwolves will surely take all of the two-way help they can get, they can afford to take on a lesser defender if it means powering-up their offense.

Minnesota looked better balanced in the playoffs, but the bulk of its regular-season success could be attributed to its defense. That unit was the NBA’s most efficient by a wide margin, per NBA.com. The offense, though, managed only a 17th-place finish.

Upping the three-point volume seems like the safest strategy for improving that ranking, and Seth Curry would help with that. The 33-year-old was uncharacteristically quiet during this past campaign, but that snapped a six-season run in which he netted better than 90 triples on 40-plus percent shooting.

His $4 million salary is non-guaranteed, per Spotrac, so it’s possible he could find his way to free agency, but if Charlotte guarantees his deal, it could look to quickly ship him out, since he doesn’t fit the rebuilding timeline. The trade cost wouldn’t be much, but Minnesota could gain a decent amount from the deal since he could laser in his drive-and-kick chances while also adding a pinch of off-the-dribble creativity.
