142 - Derrick Rose's Fit on Timberwolves, Report Cards for Eastern Conference




Hardwood Knocks show

Summary: Derrick Rose is now a member of the Timberwolves, because, well, Tom Thibodeau likes collecting former Bulls. (Shoutout, Aaron Brooks.) Dan and Andy break down D-Rose's fit in Minnesota—spoiler: It's not great—and discuss what his arrival might mean for his career and Tyus Jones' own role.  After that, it's time to roll out the quarterly Eastern Conference report cards! Andy and Dan deliver their grades for all 15 teams while also trying to make sense of a jumbled middle class that includes the 76ers, Bucks, Heat, Pacers, Wizards and, for now, the Cavaliers.
