    This team isn't going anywhere. They need to ship out Sprewell and possibly Cassell. They need to give KG some new, fresh faces in there. If this team was going to win a championship, it would of been last year, now it is too late.

    ^It's not that simple. Yes, they're getting old, but that wasn't a problem last year, and this year they even have more young options since Wally, Kandi and Hudson are completely healthy since the start of the season.

    I think the problem is lack of focus and energy, last year Sam and Sprewell wanted to prove something, they proved it and that's it.

    Steve Aschburner, Timberwolves beat writer for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, broke down what's wrong with the team this year in Wednesday's paper, SKripitz.

    As for what's wrong with this team, it's simple. They don't have the desire to do well this year. Sam and Latrell played with a chip on their shoulder last year because they were traded. Now that they did everything last year, they have become complacent. I notice with Sam that he will do good when he gets traded, but once he stays in a situation for a long time, he will slack off. I think Sam reached that stage sadly. Also, it does not help that those two has aged too.

    The Wolves have no interior presence. Teams are dunking and scoring at will in the paint.

    Guys like Fred and Trenton really need the minutes to be productive. They are not getting any minutes because Wally and Latrell needs lot of minutes to be productive or those two will become pain in the rearend.

    time for a trade. pure and simple. our core players with the exception of KG is, even though i hate to admit it, is crap.
    im actually so sick of the timberwolves losing and playing bad basketball that i dont even try posting on the forum anymore.

    Yeah, I hated to do it, but I am not going to watch a game until we make some kind of roster move. Whether it be mixing up lineups, or making a trade. I say trade Sprewell and Olowakandi and get a big man that will freaking help Garnett down low. Garnett has 25 rebounds and we still lose, just sad.
