Intro: Host Michael Rand breaks down the Timberwolves' trade for Patrick Beverley with three main points. First, the trade makes sense for the Wolves and Beverley's shooting plus defensive acumen will bolster their roster. Second, giving up Juancho Hernangomez and Jarrett Culver isn't a huge haul to send back, but it is an admission that the Wolves missed when they drafted Culver No. 6 overall just two years ago. Third, the Wolves still don't have a starting caliber power forward.

27:00: Everson Griffen reportedly will work out for the Vikings on Wednesday, which is interesting on multiple fronts — the primary one being that Griffen ripped QB Kirk Cousins on Twitter just eight months ago.
