Timberwolves coach Ryan Saunders was getting ready to do one more interview Friday afternoon, standing beside an escalator at City Center in downtown Minneapolis, when a voice came from above.
“Hey coach, we got practice,” said Malik Beasley, who was on his way up — which if you’re a Wolves fan, you should hope is a metaphor. “Let’s go, now. Talk to the media later.”
He can’t wait.
Friday’s unveiling of essentially a new Wolves roster felt like a film epic: D’Angelo Russell and a cast of thousands in downtown Minneapolis. With fans stopping to watch as the new roster was unveiled.
