Season Predictions
Regular Season: Trading away superstar PF/C Kevin Love this summerall but sealed the Timberwolves’ fate that their decade-long playoff drought would continue for at least a couple more seasons. Minnesota does have one of the best young cores in the league, headlined by PG Ricky Rubio, PG/SG Zach Lavine, SF/SG Andrew Wiggins, PF/SF Anthony Bennett, and C/PF Gorgui Dieng, as well as a few veterans leading the way, however. The most notable of these veterans is legendary franchise player PF/C Kevin Garnett, who at 38 years old was recently acquired from Brooklyn to mentor the young guys. The Timberwolves’ long playoff drought will be broken in a few years and likely in dramatic fashion as they will probably be a title contender when their young guys develop, but for now they are tanking and have one of the worst records in the league.
Projected Record: 21-61, 15th in West
