Nemanja Bjelica, Cole Aldrich, and Tyus Jones ain't gonna win you games when you have to put them in at some point for minutes at a time.

Thibs will be really tempted to overplay that starting lineup. Just like he did in Chicago.

But hey, as a fan of the Cleveland Browns of the NBA, it's clear progress.

What do you think they should do to strengthen the bench? Are there any deals out there to be made?

Again, I know it sucks, but Wolves fans STILL have to be patient. I'm not sure spending $$$ on bench player free agents is the answer. At least this year, anyway.

Enjoy the incredible upgrade that Butler will give the team. They'll win a lot more games this year, and they might or even probably will be in the playoffs. It's the first time in forever that's happened.

We can figure out long term stuff next season. Hopefully Butler will be willing to re-sign at the end of his two remaining years. And we also have to account for new deals upcoming for Wiggins and Towns in the approximate near future. We've got the money, but that also means being smart with how we build a consistent team that can and will legitimately compete.

No issue with being patient and saving the money for legitimate paydays. I was more asking if there was a Brogdon or Jordan Bell type player (not those players specifically) out there to be had for minimal cost.
