Minnesota Timberwolves admit mistake by cutting bait with Allen Crabbe

Back in mid-January, the Minnesota Timberwolves traded the expiring contracts of Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham to the Atlanta Hawks for the expiring contract of Allen Crabbe.

At the time, it made sense that the Wolves were moving out a non-shooter in Graham and a reluctant shooter yet ball-dominant point guard in Teague in favor of a player who, at least theoretically, was a capable 3-and-D shooter.

Crabbe, after all, was a 39.3 percent 3-point shooter prior to this season. While he had been given a massive contract back in 2016 by Portland, he was still a positive contributor, albeit a vastly overpaid one.
