The Minnesota Timberwolves made a huge splash in the summer of 2017, acquiring multiple-time All-Star Jimmy Butler via trade and adding veterans Jeff Teague, Taj Gibson, and Jamal Crawford via free agency. The team improved from 31 wins in 2016-17 to 47 wins last year.
But those 47 wins were only good enough for the No. 8 seed in the rough-and-tumble Western Conference, and it took all the way until Regular Season Game No. 82 in order to lock themselves in for postseason play.
That said, it was always going to be tough for the Timberwolves to be ultra-active this offseason.
