The Thunder struck early to knock out the Minnesota Timberwolves from the Western Conference Finals.
That's back-to-back trips and two "gentleman's sweeps" in the NBA's penultimate playoff round.
To channel Hall and Oates, the Wolves appear to be "so close yet so far away" from being a true title contender. So, now what?
Should general manager Tim Connelly merely tinker with a loaded-but-flawed lineup? Or should he take a mighty swing like he did after last season's run with the seismic trade that brought Julius Randle to Minnesota (plus Donte DiVincenzo) for long-time franchise face Karl Anthony Towns?
What is the top personnel priority? And which of players might the Wolves be best off discarding?
In their final "Wolves Wrap" of a gripping playoff run, Happy Hour host John Gaskins and die-hard Timberwolves fan Jon Oppold — owner of Orion Pub, the downtown Sioux Falls Wolves viewing headquarters — walk through what's best for a club that has blossomed the last three seasons but needs to be weary of a growth stunt in an ever-changing NBA and in a conference where OKC appears to be a stealth contender for at least another year or two.
