    The late September Jimmy Butler trade request took everybody (except Tom Thibodeau) by surprise. Your favorite podcast figured it would be best to push back its annual season preview episode back a few weeks until the team inevitably moved its best player.

    Eight weeks later, we are finally ready to “preview” the Timberwolves season. We get into the team’s strengths, weaknesses and the other roster dynamics at play. Also we predict the future including all star weekend appearances, an upcoming trade, and the Wolves final record. As per usual, we close with a game.

    These are trying times to be a Timberwolves fan. The franchise is a mess. The painful, prolonged Jimmy Butler saga continues to sap the joy out of a typically exciting time of the season.

Will Neil continue his dominance of year’s past, or will Scott finally break through and notch a win in the annual competition? Listen now and find out!
