I was sitting on the edge of my seat….

And then minutes later, I heard this:

Did I hear that correctly?!

(WOW!)

I had to stop what I was eating, and pay attention!

And when you finally had my attention, Thibs, I heard this from Woj:

Chicago is finalizing a deal to send Jimmy Butler to Minnesota for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and No. 7 pick, league source says.

My heart was pounding….AND POUNDING, AND POUNDING!

Oh my gosh….how much more could I take….

Apparently, a lot more! Here’s how I felt:

I knew on the day you were hired, that you were going to establishing a winning culture in Minnesota, that the Timberwolves will be relevant soon.
