There is no offseason in the NBA or in the imaginations of its fans. There is only the constant churn of rumors and rumblings — daydreams about how things might get better with THE RIGHT BIG MOVES.
For the Timberwolves, those home runs involve the usual suspects: Find a steal in the lottery with the No. 11 pick and have him turn into a star … or implement the right system and support to transform Karl-Anthony Towns from an All-Star to an MVP candidate … or unlock the potential of Andrew Wiggins and have him become a game-changing force … or convince some other team that such potential exists in Wiggins and pull off a blockbuster, roster-resetting trade … or use some crafty maneuvers to create some cap space and sign a game-altering free agent or two.
