Nevermind, just visited the Wolves page on NBA.com - he already arrived. The TimberWolves are, at the very least, Interesting this year.
I think they're going to surprise some people this season. They have a lot of talent but they have to trade Beasley and let D-Will get as much playing time at the 3/4 as he can. PG: Rubio SG: Johnson SF: Williams PF: Love C: TBD I like.
I'm even more optimistic. They hired one of the best coaches in Adelmen. They have a lot of young depth during a compressed lockout season. It reminds me of an Orlando magic team of scrubs that was lead by Darrell Armstrong and finished .500. I think the twolves will flirt with a winning record and be battling to sneak in the playoff at the end of the season.
Yeah I basically agree with this. No doubt he's a nice defender and an acceptable 4th option on offense if you have many other jumpshooters on the roster. But some people talk as if he's at the level of a prime Gary Payton, he's nowhere close.
Their SG position could use strengthening but they have Love And Williams and Beasley (And yes, Martel...) at forward, they have some nice Centers in Pekovic and Brad Miller and even Milicic, they have Anthony Randolph. Rubio and Ridnour at PG...
Its going to be interesting to see how Adelman runs the offense through Love. We'll see if he actually takes advantage of his innate outlet passing ability.
