After about a month of training camp and preseason, here we are, on the verge of the NBA regular season tipping off.
The Minnesota Timberwolves start their season on Wednesday against the Nets in Brooklyn. That feels about right considering the Wolves have three former Nets on their team – guard Shabazz Napier, wing Treveon Graham and assistant coach Pablo Prigioni.
The Wolves basically got Napier and Graham for nothing in a trade, and Prigioni was lauded as a huge get for the team’s coaching staff. There are certainly worse ideas than taking pieces from a Nets team that won 42 games last season, a 14-win increase from the previous season.
