Tuesday night’s NBA Draft Lottery was the first lottery that did not include the Minnesota Timberwolves since 2004 — 14 years ago. Which means this is the first morning after that we don’t have a reaction to the lottery in a long, long time. (In case you missed it, the Phoenix Suns were awarded the first-overall selection for the first time in franchise history.)
While the Wolves have long been eliminated from postseason play, it’s been a surprisingly newsworthy month of May for the organization.
From coach firings to resignations under concerning circumstances to a potential Derrick Rose return and the NBA blogosphere discussing Andrew Wiggins trade scenarios, things have been busy.
