NBA free agents can begin verbally agreeing to contracts Sunday, and the big question is whether the Timberwolves can make a serious run at point guard D’Angelo Russell, a restricted free agent.
Today we ask: Is that a good idea?
First take: Michael Rand
A colleague of ours, when recalling a conversation he had with a friend about another local team’s roster construction, conjured up a quote from the movie “Jurassic Park”: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
That feels like an apt summary of a lot of sports transactions and bears examination when it comes to Russell.
