In the summer of 2015, the Minnesota Timberwolves were at a low point in their franchise’s history. A year prior, the Kevin Love era had reached its natural endpoint without a single trip to the playoffs as the Wolves traded the multi-time All-Star to the Cleveland Cavaliers to compete for titles with Kyrie Irving and LeBron James, who was returning home.
In return, the Wolves received first overall pick Andrew Wiggins, who ended up winning Rookie of the Year. That same season Minnesota also traded for franchise legend, Kevin Garnett, who was in the twilight of his career and ready to return to the place where it all started.
