Minnesota Timberwolves fans: we’re almost there.
Media day is merely weeks away. Then, training camp. And then, preseason play.
In the meantime, we have to rely on predictions, over-unders, and off-the-court news to get us through. And it’s the former of the three that we’ll be covering today.
First, let’s talk about Taj Gibson. Tom Thibodeau brought Gibson to Minnesota on a two-year deal last summer, bringing yet another piece of his successful Chicago Bulls teams up I-94 to the Twin Cities.
Gibson was coming off of a solid season that saw him traded from the Bulls to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he started in the playoffs for Russell Westbrook‘s squad that lost to the Houston Rockets in five games.
