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!
