Dear Timberwolves fans,
In case you missed it: the Timberwolves introduced Jeff Teague and Taj Gibson yesterday.
Yes, it’s official: Welcome to The Pack!
There’s a lot that went on during and after the press conference.
If you’re trying to catch up on everything, it’s going to feel overwhelming. So here, why don’t I make your life (a little) easier?
I chronicled all—well, almost all—the reactions on Twitter yesterday morning.
(That way, you don’t have to)
So sit back, relax and enjoy:
Here’s the Press Conference:
Some memorable quotes:
"We still have a lot of unfinished business," – Gibson on his relationship with Thibs.

Some blogosphere reactions:
Giant smile across Taj's face when he said he's excited to be back with Thibs again. Thibs' players really do live him huh

Predictably, lot of people saying the "right stuff". Definitely liked Teague's comments though.
