The Thunder are showing that it's possible to win at the highest level without a classic second option, which is something for the Timberwolves to consider.
With Ayo Dosunmu as an unrestricted free agent, the Wolves will need to have a backup plan, and Kelly Oubre Jr provides a lot of skills the Timberwolves lack.
James Harden was interested in joining the Timberwolves, but Minnesota (thankfully) didn't want him. After the playoffs, this decision looks even better.
