The Minnesota Timberwolves finally cut ties with Jimmy Butler on Nov. 10, after a months-long battle between the star, the coach and the owners over what to do with his trade request. Butler created a scene to get himself out of town, including a memorable scrimmage, which, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, saw him yell out loud “You bleeping need me. You can’t win without me.”
Yet in nine games since his departure, the Wolves are 7-2. In the blink of an eye, the Timberwolves are back in they playoff picture, sitting 11-11 as we pass the quarter of the season mark. No longer is the attention on a circus-like drama; it’s on the functionality of a fresh group. They’ve rebranded from chaotic mess to defensive stalwarts.
These Wolves can make a run in the West.
Here’s why it’s time to take this team seriously.
