    Makes Asik look like a bargain. Timberwolves are capped out for a 1st round exit. Congrat Adelman.

    We'll see. That's going to be a solidly built team and Rick is a great coach.

    Depending on how the offseason finishes up, I could see that being a top 5 seed in the West and getting a first round win.

    It wasn't too long ago that we had Martin leading the team and people felt that adding Kevin Love was all WE needed to compete.

    No I don't think they are better than the Rockets, but I will say that the Rockets final standings will have a lot to do with how quickly everyone gels.

    But, when I think it out, it would be hard for them to get top 5, but it's not impossible. Last year we were in contention for a 6 or 5 seed pretty late into the year. A lot depends on health of other teams, but I could see the Wolves finishing anywhere between 10th in the West and 5th in the West. Seriously. :)

    I see Minny missing the playoffs...again.

    I've been right the last two seasons.

    At least Portland is denied a quality center. Gives us a chance at LMA in 2015.

    J.R. and dont forget to add about Brewer also. that T-Wolves might have a deal with him also 3 years $15 mill. but dont know if its legit source or not. it was on twitter by marc stein.

    The Wolves have a lot of mediocre on that team.....

    Pekovic and Love are very good but lets see if Love can stay healthy...

    Can't wait for them to get the 14th pick in the draft.

    If the Nuggets stumble and age finally catches up to the Spurs, maybe the T-Wolves could grab the #5 seed.

    If either Bogut and/or Steph Curry miss a lot of games, Golden State could drop way down.

    Yep. Whenever we vs them in the season there isn't a reason to expect anything less than a win. The way they match-up vs. this rockets team makes me laugh. There isn't a single position outside of Kevin Love that we don't win in some way or another.

    So if their big three (Love, Rubio, and Pekovic) are healthy then you think they will still miss the playoffs?

    I like what the NFL did this year where teams didn't offer big money to players who don't deserve it.

    Pek is a good player but he is not worth that much. NBA teams need to stop giving these crazy contracts to players, its ruining the league.
