Minnesota Timberwolves

  • Key Players Added: Jordan Hill, Brandon Rush, Cole Aldrich
  • Key Players Lost:
  • Key Players Re-signed:

Adding Jordan Hill to the power forward/center mix is a safe move.  Looks as if they might not be trading Ricky Rubio, which comes as a bit of a surprise…considering that rookie Kris Dunn will more than capable, and Rubio has great trade value as an elite passer entering his prime.  When you think about it, a team like 76ers would be the perfect trade partners; maybe strike a deal that sends Embiid to the T-Wolves.  Either way, this organization built their team the right way, and the young team could find themselves in the playoffs as soon as next season.

Grade: B-

Next: New Orleans Pelicans
