The Minnesota Timberwolves were so proud of their three-way trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Philadelphia 76ers, they couldn't wait to announce it.
The Timberwolves bought a half-page ad in the early Sunday edition of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, introducing fans to Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Thaddeus Young, with Zach LaVine thrown in for good measure.

The trade can be made official after noon on Saturday, but that appears to be nothing but a formality at this point.
