So much for a slow sports week.
In trying to strategically take time off to align with both family vacation needs and the Minnesota sports calendar, last week seemed like a good bet. It was post-NBA draft and pre-NHL draft. The Vikings are off the radar for about the only time all year, and college sports (presumably) were as well.
And then of course all heck broke loose. Kevin Fiala was traded, a likelihood that now seems like a small footnote to the week. Wes Johnson left the Twins. The Big Ten added two California teams. Plus the biggest one of all: The Wolves agreed to trade about one-third of their roster and one-half of their first-round picks for the rest of this decade for Utah center Rudy Gobert.
