    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves boast their best All-Star break record in the franchise's 15-year history.

    They've been trying hard to curb their enthusiasm, remembering well the shiny midseason marks of the past that turned into first-round playoff losses. (They're at seven straight.)

    But it's hard for Minnesota (37-15) to hide its excitement about the expected addition of three quality players for some portion of the season's final 30 games.

    Swingman Wally Szczerbiak (sore left foot caused by a plantar fascia strain), guard Troy Hudson (severely sprained right ankle) and center Michael Olowokandi (recovering from arthroscopic right knee surgery) have missed 7,054 of a possible 7,488 minutes between them.

    "They give us a better team," guard Fred Hoiberg said. "They're going to help us, no doubt, get further in the playoffs. I'm excited about these guys coming back. I'm not worried about my role."</div>

    The wolves are going to be one of the best team in the league with the addition of Wally,Kandi and Troy and they already are one of the best team.But i don't know if they will have chemistry but i'm sure Flip will help them.

    Thw Timberwolves are doing great this season. They are about to make Franchise history in the playoffs soon. They are just exceeding many people's expectations.

    With our whole team here, we can only get better. All we can hope for is that Wally doesn't mind being the fourth option. If he can deal with that, we will be almost unbeatable. Gotta love it.

    Although I despise his attitude and ego a lot. I hope Wally stays, he's a great offensive person for our team. He's the x-factor and the one whom we'd go to if others weren't shooting well.

    However from the looks of things, looks like he won't be around much longer. If that is the case I hope we can get our hands on Brent Barry. He wants to leave and will provide excellent offense as well. Same goes for NVE.

    I recently read TMac might be moving some time, that'd never work though, having players like KG and himself playing together wouldn't work. Neither would Pierce or Kobe. Ah well things are truly looking bright either way. Olokowandi and Hudson are gonna help us continue to prosper in the league.
    I see gold this season and in our future.

    When is Trot supposed to come back. I could see a great offense without Wally if Troy will play the 2 spot.

    Guards: Sam
    Troy
    Forwards: KG
    Spree
    Center: Kandi

    Troy isn't going to play the 2. He would have if he didn't get injured, but it was a blessing in desguise, because we found a great defender in Hassell. Wally and Troy should be great sparks off the bench. We are one of the deepest teams in the NBA right now, and dare I say, THE most deepest team int he NBA.
