Here’s the current state of your Minnesota Timberwolves:
The season’s over. The offseason continues (but the rumors never stop).
Right now, as I’m typing this—the time now is 9:39 pm—there’s not a whole lot of chatter (from the average fans) on Twitter.
Yeah, there’s fans, like Phil, who were talking about the draft:
If my @Timberwolves get Jonathan Issac…look out.

A couple of tweets on the (lingering) Ricky Rubio rumors that’s morphing into a conspiracy theory:
R #Twolves journalists creating too much controversy about expectations of the team trading Ricky Rubio? @Timberwolves #PowerOfThePack @NBA

If Thibs' gets drunk & does a straight swap for Rubio, which terrible decision do you think is the least turrible for the #twolves?

I’m scrolling … scrolling.
And then, I saw this:
Hey @Timberwolves go get Royce White https://t.co/zJkhWgy8Vg
— Brent Petermeier (@CoachPetermeier) June 6, 2017
He wasn’t the only one tweeting to the Timberwolves. There’s this guy too:
@Timberwolves You guys should sign @Highway_30 in the offseason. A Minnesota native who absolutely balled out this year in the NBL

My initial reaction?

These fans are tweeting to the Timberwolves, technically speaking, but really, they’re tweeting to you Thibs.
They want you to sign Royce White.
I did a little “research”—ehem, going on YouTube—and Royce White looked great this season:
Here’s another highlight:
I like what I see from Mr. White. He’s more aggressive at the paint, dunking on baskets!
And, as always, he sounds eloquent. 🙂
Thibs, I don’t know if you follow NBL Canada (NBLC) league. And I don’t know if you play favorites with players who are from Minnesota, especially Minneapolis like Mr. White.
Mm … for you, Thibs … I don’t think it … matters, but what do you think of Royce White?
I know. I know. You make smart, calculated basketball decisions, in particular with this group of Timberpups. (How can you afford to be reckless?)
Based on what we saw today on Twitter though, I think these fans have a solid case:
Congrats to Royce White (@Highway_30) on leading the London Lightning to a NBLC championship! He scored 34 in the final game. https://t.co/iKfXRhClGI

Royce White—the new, and improved, Royce White—deserves a look.
Go Timberwolves! Get your howl on.
