As we wind down toward the end of the Timberwolves’ tumultuous 2016-2017 season and the thought of a once-promising hopeful playoff team is all but forgotten, Tom Thibodeau and general manager Scott Layden have a few decisions to make over the summer.
The Wolves’ upcoming free agents include unrestricted free agents Adreian Payne, Brandon Rush and Omri Casspi, restricted free agent Shabazz Muhammad, and a team option for Jordan Hill.
Minnesota also expects to pursue medical retirement for oft-injured center Nikola Pekovic.
