Probably hours into his workday already, Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau met with reporters at 9 a.m. Friday to discuss seasons past and future.
By then, he had already done the math.
“We have 151 days until camp opens next year,” he said. “There is a lot of work that has to be done.”
He started by meeting individually with players on Thursday before he sent them into their summer with a month’s “active rest” while asking them to both watch and study the NBA playoffs.
After that month, they go back to work on development programs while Thibodeau and his staff prepare for June’s draft, July’s free agency and pursue trades that could come sooner or later.
