Minnesota Timberwolves: Waiting to get older is getting old
Minnesota Timberwolves fans have spent a lot of time waiting. At what point does waiting for Wolves players to get older ... get old?
When does getting old, get old?
Minnesota Timberwolves fans have experienced their own version of the Philadelphia 76ers' “Trust the Process” mantra since they traded Kevin Garnett and the centerpiece of their return was a young power forward drafted out of high school named Al Jefferson.
Fans were told, "Wait until this kid is 25 and averaging 25 points and 12 rebounds." However, only a couple years later they traded away high-profile prospect O.J. Mayo on draft night for Kevin Love.
