    I think of them as a Clippers act 2.

    Rubio, Love, Williams, Johnson, Beasley...

    If Rick the Ruler can make these guys run, they should be entertaining.

    Rubio alley-hoop to Williams all night long.

    I was thinking the same thing, If I goto a game, I'd probably go with these guys bc you can still find cheaper tickets and they have a fun, fast squad. really intrigued by Rubio, Williams, Love trio

    I think so too. They have an exciting team. Obviously Love and Williams will be the duo to watch, one attacks from down low, the other attacks from perimeter, fine combo to build around. Not to forget Rubio, everyone is dying to just see him play, regardless how well he might play. I think Ridnour is a good vet to mentor Rubio. Along with Ridnour, Webster, Tolliver and Darko round out a pretty solid bench.

    They could use an upgrade at SG and C. They need starting caliber talent. They should use Beasley and Randolph to upgrade those spots.

    Wes Johnson+Randolph+Miller for Hamilton. Kaman for Beasley+M.Lee+Pekovic.

    Rubio/Ridnour
    Hamilton/Ellington
    Williams/Webster
    Love/Tolliver
    Kaman/Darko

    With Aldeman running the show there is now way that team doesnt make the playoffs. No pressure on Rubio.

    I doubt Adelman starts two rookies. If one of them does start I'll go with Williams. Ridnour in the last two seasons has put up Steve Nash lite numbers.

    my prediction is that Rubio won't make it out of Youtube, and I hate saying or making predictions about injuries, but this kid is going to get *ROUGHED UP. The Timberwolves do strange things to NBA careers ie. Jonny Flynn.

    T-Wolves are one of the reasons I'd consider getting league pass (I'm usually fine with just the Rockets and other games on TNT, etc.)... though there won't be many "off nights" where the Rockets don't play because this season is so crammed. Minnesota just looks like a team that has a lot of potential and could be fun to watch grow. I think they do better than most think, which isn't ideal since we have their second round pick this year (sure would be nice if they coughed up a typical MIN season).

    I like the idea of seeing Adelman work with such a young team. He's been one of my favorite coaches in the league for as long as I've watched the NBA, but I don't recall him ever working with such a rookie roster.

    They'll definitely be fun to watch.

    Rick made Rafer look good at PG, so I'm sure he'll work wonders for Rubio.

    Will definitely watch the twolves this season. Never wanted Adelman to go. If there's one coach that can get that team to play good, its Adelman.

    Adelman is one of the best coaches ever. Especially on offense.

    TWolves should be better this year

    Like mentioned earlier if Rick the Ruler couldn't handle T-will, how the hell is he going to handle Beasley.

    All in all my playoff picture for next season:

    1.OKC
    2.Mavs
    3.Lakers
    4.Memphis
    5.Portland
    6.San Antonio
    7.Houston/Twolves/Warriors
    8.Houston/Twolves/Warriors

    Except for the fact that Rafer is 1000000000x better than Rubio...

    LOL.

    Rubio has far more potential than Rafer Alston.

    Rubio > Rafer
