Monte Morris always knew playoff reunion with Nuggets was possible after trade to Timberwolves: “That'll be a great story”

Monte Morris would be lying if he claimed this very situation wasn't one of the first hypotheticals that occurred to him after the trade. “I thought about it,” he admitted as his Minnesota Timberwolves were preparing to face the Nuggets in the playoffs. Matching up against his former team in the playoffs was an impossibility at the halfway point of this season, when Morris was playing for the lottery-bound Detroit Pistons. It was a distant idea on Feb. 7, when he got traded to the Timberwolves to supply point guard depth as they geared up for a deep run.
