The Minnesota Timberwolves are such a fun team right now. The fun part is not necessarily based on the assumption that this team is in play to compete in the NBA Championship series this season. But let’s be honest with ourselves, unlike the uncertainty that accompanied the blockbuster trade for Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves roster this year has felt calm, and uplifting.
It’s all transformed from a hard pounding surf stirred up by an ocean-based tempest, to the calm still surface of a cool brook-fed lake in the hot summer months. And that serenity, that soft glow inside that comes with a peaceful landscape, gives this Timberwolves roster an almost safe and stable feel.
