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.
