The New Orleans Pelicans may be without multiple key players in Thursday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves reached the Western Conference finals in both of the last two seasons, and many expected them to be an elite team this season. While they have a 13-8 record, they're only in sixth place in the West, and the point guard position is a big weakness.

A recent blockbuster trade proposal suggested that the Clippers star James Harden might join the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“Morant has dominated the league-wide rumor mill ever since he sparked headlines on Halloween,” Amick wrote. “Yet the combination of his contract, health concerns and his myriad of controversies has led to a clear conclusion among rival executives: It’s a buyer’s market when it comes to the (fallen) two-time All-Star.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are predicted to deal a $100 million All-Star frontcourt player in a potential blockbuster deal.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been struggling on offense at times. This wild trade proposal would help with that.

As the Iowa State Cyclones continue to rise in the polls into the Top 10, some of their players are deservingly getting some more recognition as well. It has been a great start to the season thus far for the Cyclones.
