I don't think a lot of guys worked out for a lot of teams. There may have been a few more workouts but they weren't reported. I don't think that's a big issue.

And now we get a legit All NBA player, street cred defensive player, someone who knows the system and we didn't lose our true talent in Wiggins and KAT nor your precious Rubio.
Stop with this crying! This is the legit move this team has never had, a All NBA player that will make the team tougher. This is our movement!
It's hard to accept giving up potential when that hope is all this team has given us for more than a decade! It's part of a TWolves fan's DNA at this point.
HOPE is what kills us. Honestly, this doesn't fix our woes but it gives us a GM who is willing to trade Hope for Proven ability. I HOPE Ricky can shoot, I HOPE we can get a free agent who is worth a shit. Hasn't happened in my opinion. Now, go get Millsap and start this process
These are the dudes that make the most sense, IMO.
Three point shooting
Justin Jackson (but can't really play the 4 so much)
DJ Wilson (two-way guy, can shoot pretty well)
TJ Leaf (on paper, he makes a good amount of sense, but can he guard smaller guys on the perimeter?)
Defense
OG (great defender, versatile, can also shoot the 3 a bit)
Anigbogu (only center I'd put in this list, because I think he's that great defensively)
Bell (love the defensive versatility)
3 and D
Bolden (I'm really liking this guy actually)
I like Justin's Jackson but with Butler and Wiggins how much will he play? We need shooting though and...maybe a wing will be handling some PG duties.
I like John Collins as well. Semi and OG are interesting. If you want a more typical 7ish big pick one out of a hat that's left. What about another trade down?
