The Minnesota Timberwolves selected forward Aleksej Pokusevski with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Serbia, but they will reportedly ship the 18-year-old winger to Oklahoma City in exchange for a package that includes Ricky Rubio and the Nos. 25 and 28 overall selections in the first round.

Suns Expected To Pursue Chris Paul Trade

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly interested in making a trade for veteran point guard Chris Paul, according to Brian Windhorst.
