Minnesota Timberwolves Offseason Retrospective: What Could Have Been

When your team acquires Jimmy Butler, your off-season is a win. Throw in that he was acquired along with the 16th overall pick (Justin Patton) for the affordable price of Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, the 7th overall pick (Lauri Markannen) and you have yourself a coup. That move, on its own, made the rest of the off-season impossible to lose. But now, with two months to look back on how free agency played out, there is a feeling that more could have been done.

The rest of the Wolves major signings are at the very least questionable, but to know how “bad” those moves are a comparison is necessary.
