If the Minnesota Timberwolves seek to shake up their roster this offseason, trading Andrew Wiggins might not be the best option.

According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic: "From what I can gather, Wiggins doesn't have a huge amount of value on the market right now. He's about to start a five-year, $148 million contract and is coming off of a less-than-convincing fourth season in the league."

The Timberwolves finished 47-35 this season, reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2004. But it wasn't all smooth sailing, as Wiggins and Jimmy Butler didn't always appear to be the best match on the court.

Wiggins' role in the offense has diminished over the past three seasons, and this year he was clearly the third option behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Butler. Wiggins, 23, averaged 17.7 points per game, his lowest mark since his rookie season, and his struggles from beyond the arc (33.1 percent) didn't aid the team's floor spacing or offensive cohesion.

Minnesota struggled from the perimeter in general, shooting 35.7 percent from three (19th in the NBA). Its defense was also middle-of-the-pack, giving up 107.3 points per game (17th).

Given the talent atop the Western Conference and its depth, Krawczynski wrote it wouldn't be surprising if the Wolves made a splashy move in an effort to push for the NBA Finals next season:

"They are going to be aggressive and know they have a lot of ground to make up without a lot of cap space to do it. That points to a big move, either with Wiggins or [Gorgui] Dieng or some combination. It's not going to be an easy decision or an easy process to navigate. But I think they're going to consider all options in an effort to get closer to the top of the conference. You can feel the urgency hanging in the air."

Wiggins is the most likely to be traded among Minnesota's Big Three, surely. Towns is as close to untouchable as it gets in the NBA, while Butler is a better fit in Tom Thibodeau's system given his far superior defense and ability to make an impact as a two-way star.

Wiggins' value may be in question, but if the Wolves make a roster-altering deal, he still appears to be the most likely candidate to be moved.
