The 10-man rotation, starring the growing pains in Minnesota

The 10-man rotation, starring the growing pains in Minnesota

A look around the league and the Web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: MinnPost. The great Britt Robson goes in depth with Minnesota Timberwolves president and coach Flip Saunders, a midseason must-read as the Wolves take to yet another lottery-bound season with a confirmed youth movement.
PF: Truth About It. A fantastic look at the mostly-hated Kris Humphries, and his role in Washington’s midrange-heavy offense.
SF: SB Nation. Steven LeBron with a terrific and funny feature on the mostly-adored Doris Burke.
SG: Hardwood Paroxysm. On the idea that NBA players can’t wait to “go home” as a free agents.
PG: New York Times. Profiling the day-to-day life of Lou Amundson, now on his tenth NBA team.
6th: Fear the Sword. Excuses aside, LeBron James lines up for his latest challenge.
7th: Sports Illustrated. Chris Mannix on Vince Carter in Memphis, a former star turned role player in winter.
8th: Detroit Deadline Sports. On various Michigan-related NBA nuggets, including Nik Stauskas’ Sacramento disappearance.
9th: ESPN Chicago. Chicago Bulls VP of basketball operations John Paxson went on the ‘Waddle and Silvy Show’ to confirm that the Bulls plan to match any offers made to Jimmy Butler this summer during his restricted free agency.
10th: Grantland. Jonathan Abrams on the ascension of Mike Conley Jr., a piece you’ve likely already read but should probably read again.
