3 players the Minnesota Timberwolves should re-sign this offseason

The Minnesota Timberwolves will have plenty of tough decisions to make this offseason. Here are three players that they must re-sign.

Well, what can we say about the season as it stands for the Minnesota Timberwolves?

To be sure, it’s been full of massive highs and massive lows. And while the Wolves are going to miss the playoffs again, but fans should be greatly encouraged.

Before the trade deadline, the Wolves were treading water as an organization.  In the offseason, they lost out on their target, D’Angelo Russell, and traded for and signed low-money guys to fill the roster.

There were two players signed to massive contracts, one of whom got hurt and the other under-performed after an impressive initial 10 games. Rookie Jarrett Culver was not playing to the level of a top-6 pick, and it seemed like everything was lost.

Then, president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas started to unveil his architecture plans. We saw the second-largest trade in the organization’s history, landing the man that that the Wolves had been vying for since Rosas took over last May in Russell. The team also used the February trade deadline to acquire some additional talent in the form of Malik Beasley, Juan Hernangomez, and James Johnson.

What we’re going to take a look at are three players that must be re-signed for next season, and why the Wolves need to have a focus on each of them.

This isn’t to suggest that there aren’t multiple other players that the Wolves should sign, but these three are essential to the building of this team and need to be locked up.
