The Minnesota Timberwolves know you have a problem. You used to like the NBA when there was a franchise in Minneapolis, but you haven’t seen an NBA team in action since the Lakers left. Sure, you wanted to enjoy a Timberwolves game, but you also don’t want to pay NBA prices for D-League quality.

Finally, if you’re really lucky, you’ll be there the night Glen Taylor puts Kevin McHale’s head on a pike. Stand back, though; ‘Toine will probably try to shoot it from three.
