We discuss the Kevin Love trade, Rubio, Thad Young, Flip Saunders, and more.
After a bit of an unexpected hiatus, the podcast is back. This week we were joined Zachary Bennett of CanisHoopus.com, SB Nation’s Timberwolves blog. Despite losing Love, Zachary gives good reasons as to why things may not be as bad this year as they look.
With the Timberwolves having one of the busiest offseasons of any team this summer, we had no shortage of topics. Zachary gave us his input on the Kevin Love trade and why it is potentially the best return for a super star player in recent years, along with what to expect now that Flip Saunders is both head coach and President of Basketball Ops (I of course called him the GM by mistake). Additionally, we talked about Thaddeus Young and whether he could opt to stay in Minnesota long-term, why Ricky Rubio is the future point guard of the franchise, and what we should expect from Shabazz Muhammad and Gorgei Dieng in their second seasons.
As always, we thank you for listening. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, and follow us on Podbean.
