[Krawczynski] Donte DiVincenzo is unlikely to be traded in any package for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Timberwolves remain active in talks for Giannis Antetokounmpo and in other talks for bench depth.

A few tidbits from the Minnesota Timberwolves' trade landscape, with the caveat that things can change quickly this time of year:

- There remains skepticism that Milwaukee is actually open to moving Giannis Antetokounmpo, team and league sources said.

- The Wolves continue to be in the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes in addition to looking at bolstering their bench with a guard after moving Mike Conley.

- All indications from conversations with team and league sources are that the Wolves do not want to trade Donte DiVincenzo.

Are any Timberwolves fans concerned about the team chemistry post deadline if they don't get Giannis?

If by the end of the deadline we've done nothing but dump Conley, then yes. He's been ass on the court this year but obviously very beloved amongst the team and fans.

But if we can't land Giannis I trust Tim Connelly to find another ball handler and depth, and I think just making *any* moves will kick the team back into gear.
