207 - Derek James on the Timberwolves, Butler, Towns, Wiggins, Thibs

Derek James (@DerekJamesNBA) joins Hardwood Knocks to break down the future of what remains perhaps the NBA's most tenuous situation. He and Dan get into the Jimmy Butler trade; the fits of Dario Saric and Robert Covington; the perception of Karl-Anthony Towns; the ceiling for Andrew Wiggins; the futures of Taj Gibson, Tyus Jones, Derrick Rose and Jeff Teague; Tom Thibodeau's job security; Minnesota's expectations for this season; a wonky trade idea; and so much more! As always, please subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on basically anywhere podcasts are offered. And as 50 Cent's biopic suggests: Follow Andy Bailey (@AndrewDBailey), Dan Favale (@danfavale), the show (@HardwoodKnocks) and NBA Math (@NBA_Math) on Twitter or die trying.
