Per Chip:

Subtlety isn’t Tim Connelly’s style as a deal maker. The Timberwolves president typically makes the biggest splash possible when tinkering with the roster.

Something less seismic is a likelier outcome this time with the NBA trade deadline two weeks away, but sitting inactive cannot be an option. A fourth consecutive loss Thursday, Jan. 22, highlighted the need for action.

A point guard is preferable, but more important than position, Connelly needs to find one more reliable option for the rotation. Someone who provides a jolt and improves depth that is woefully lacking.

Two discussion points remained pertinent after the Wolves’ 120-115 home loss to the Chicago Bulls: The point guard situation and the team’s propensity to toggle between casual and serious performances.

Can both areas be addressed and solved with one trade deadline? Ideally.


Howl Wolves!!
