Four years ago, in the downstairs portion of the 508 Bar and Restaurant and just an outlet pass away from Target Center, Flip Saunders embraced his new point guard, Tyus Jones.
Saunders used some colorful language as he implored Jones to play his butt off because of all the work Saunders had done to acquire him that night, trading two second-round picks in that 2015 draft and a future second-round pick to Cleveland to nab Jones with the No. 24 overall pick in the first round. Paired with No. 1 overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns, Jones gave Wolves fans a night to celebrate and remember.
