Shabazz Muhammad’s contract is set to expire this summer, potentially leaving him as a restricted free-agent, meaning that Tom Thibodeau and his Minnesota Timberwolves have a huge decision looming about their spark plug off the bench.
Muhammad does not fit into the type of team the Timberwolves’ are looking to become. If they are smart, they will let him walk as a free-agent this off-season.
Thibodeau demands his players to consistently give effort on the defensive end of the floor. He doesn’t find it acceptable for a player to pick and choose when to play defense. Thibodeau also needs players to help space the floor for his two stars, Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.
