The Timberwolves and coach/personnel boss Tom Thibodeau had a couple different basic directions they could have gone this past offseason.
Option one was to make minimal moves to the roster, trusting that Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins were the franchise and that things would fall into place around them as they grew older and better.
Option two was to decide this was the time to infuse the roster with a better supporting cast to hopefully enhance what those two players already offered.
Thibodeau and the Wolves clearly chose the second option. The centerpiece of the overhaul was a draft night trade with the Bulls.
