Allen Crabbe had no indication a trade was coming. No rumors, no hunches. He first heard about the deal that brought him to Minnesota when someone pulled him aside at a Hawks practice and told him to get ready to move.
“I was taken aback,” Crabbe said Monday, before he made his Timberwolves debut in a game against Denver. “I didn’t hear anything leading up to this. … It definitely was a shock to me, but it’s not my first time being traded. It’s the business side. The only thing you got to try to do is pack up, get to your new team, get implemented and show up and go to work.
