Debating potential contract extensions for Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, when to cash in trade chips and sniffing around the Boston Celtics for a deal.

Who is Minnesota projected to select in the first round of next month’s draft? Here’s who the experts suspect may soon be joining the organization:

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for games in Oklahoma City was $149 including fees on Vivid Seats. Prices start at $212 including fees in Minneapolis.
