It’s been 261 consecutive days since the Minnesota Timberwolves last played a professional basketball game. And yet, 2020 has still given us plenty to talk about — from the death of George Floyd, to the COVID-19 pandemic, finishing up with the 2020 election — our little community has had plenty of non-basketball (yet far more serious and important) topics to debate and discuss over these last nine or so months since I took over as Site Manager.
While the basketball conversations have picked up over the last few weeks as we navigated through a virtual NBA Draft and expedited NBA Free Agency, I’m not here today to discuss cap sheets, mid-level exceptions, or whether or not Ricky Rubio will be in the starting lineup.
