Minnesota Timberwolves pushing to host non-Orlando teams

In what should come as a surprise to nobody, the Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly one of the most vocal teams pushing to host the eight squads not included in the NBA's Orlando re-start.

According to The Athletic's Sam Amick (subscription required), the Wolves have not only been pushing for the eight non-Orlando teams to participate in a tournament-style environment similar to what is starting in Orlando in July, they've raised their hand as a possible host site.

Amick goes on to say that along with the Wolves, the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Detroit Pistons have been the most vocal franchises regarding the perceived competitive disadvantage to not being included in the 22-team re-start.
