20. Minnesota Timberwolves (4-7)

Last week: 18

Even with Jimmy Butler the roster, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been pretty up and down this season. However, whenever we grade the Wolves from here on out we have to do it with the assumption that Butler won’t be on the roster much longer.

(yeah, I know).

But here we are. Another week and Butler is still on the roster and the storyline that is garnering the majority of attention when it comes to this team. It’s been a headache for everyone involved. But we could be at a resolution soon. There were whispers last week that the saga would end in early November.

Here’s to hoping those reports are right.
