The Wolves on Monday agreed in principle to trade Derrick Williams to Sacramento for defensive specialist Luc Mbah a Moute, league sources said. The deal could be finalized as early as Tuesday morning, pending physical examinations.
When finalized, the trade will send away a player whose future in Minnesota was murky almost from the moment he was drafted out of Arizona in 2011, after Cleveland took Duke’s Kyrie Irving No. 1 overall.
Wolves star Kevin Love seemed startled when asked after about the deal. So did other teammates. Corey Brewer and Kevin Martin said they were unaware.
