Wolves gone dark?
To judge by the local media, in the wake of the unexpected death by truck-train collision of former Timberwolf Eddie Griffin, the Timberwolves have gone lights-out. There hasn’t been a mention of a free agent signing (or attempted signing), a trade either successful or falling through (even though we all know that in the wake of the KG trade, Juwan Howard wants out). Heck, as far as anyone knows, no one on the Wolves roster or staff has even bought a cookware set for their wives!
But this is a time when a lot of NBA teams go dark; with less than a month to go before the Wolves open training camp, they’d rather sit back and let the headlines continue to focus on the ups and downs of the Gophers, Vikings and Twins. Let the headlines turn back to the Timberwolves when, perhaps, there might be something more exciting to write about, like all of Boston’s rejects pulling together to go undefeated in the preseason.
Or something like that. Something to make the fans forget that KG, like Elvis, has finally left the building.
