I think it's because D'Lo is a weird fit on a lot of teams. He needs to be the lead ball handler AND offensive initiator. For the most part, all western conference teams has that role set.
LAL-Lebron
Clips- Could use him but don't have any assets besides maybe Lou+Bev?
Suns-Paul+Booker
Mavs-Luka
Spurs- Timeline all off
Hou- Wall+Harden (for now)
Pels-Could use him and I think a realistic landing spot
MEM- Ja Morant
SAC- Fox
GSW- Been there
UTA- Donovan+Conley
OKC- I mean they have the assets, but they have Shai.
DEN- Murray
In the East there are more suitors but they are bottom dwellers and probably don't have what MIN is looking for.
BOS, TOR, PHI, MIL, ATL, WAS, BRK are all accounted for. Then you have odd fits but could work with Heat, Pacers, Chicago, and Pistons. Finally you have the teams craving for any attention with the Cavs, Hornets, Knicks, and Magic.
But I don't think the Wolves ship out D'Lo because of his relationship to KAT. It's all about keeping him happy.
