A new report suggests that there are two teams considered as the top favorites to trade for Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington prior to Thursday’s deadline. These teams, however, may have to pay a steep price to acquire the veteran’s services.
Early on Monday morning, Marc Stein of The New York Times took to Twitter to share a number of rumors in anticipation of the February 6 trade deadline, including the latest update on Covington’s situation with the Timberwolves. Citing league sources, Minnesota is apparently hoping to acquire two future first-round draft picks for the 29-year-old forward. And while there were no specific trade packages discussed for these teams, Stein concluded by saying that the Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets stand out so far as Covington’s most likely destinations, assuming the Timberwolves are able to move him.
