Introduction: Host Michael Rand wonders if Boston, which just took a 3-0 NBA Finals lead on Dallas with a road win Wednesday, could be the model for the Timberwolves to follow. The Celtics had a very good roster last year, but they shook things up with two big trades that have them on the cusp of a title. Does Minnesota need a similar approach this offseason after reaching the Western Conference finals?

Star Tribune Twins writer Bobby Nightengale joined host Michael Rand on Thursday’s Daily Delivery podcast to break down the Twins’ ups and downs and to discuss what they might be looking for later this summer at the trade deadline.
