Mandatory Credit: Matt Blewett-Imagn Images | Matt Blewett-Imagn ImagesChris Finch just can’t seem to give up on the idea of playing Mike Conley. It looked like he would be forced to once Conley was dealt to the Chicago Bulls. Even if Chicago waived him, Minnesota wouldn’t be allowed to bring him back. Except, the Bulls then traded the 38-year-old point guard to the Charlotte Hornets, who subsequently waived him. That opened up a loophole where Conley could return to the Wolves, and that’s what eventually ended up happening.
