Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves are in a world of hurt, and it’s likely to get worse before it gets better. Ryan Gomes, Al Jefferson, and Sebastian Telfair each earned 3 wins last year, while the rest of the returning roster earned 8. That is a total of 17 returning wins. When they traded away Foye and Miller, they unloaded 6 wins to acquire the 5th pick. That pick usually earns 4 wins. So, they traded away wins form something they hope pays off in the future. With Ricky Rubio, Johnny Flynn, and Wayne Ellington as rookies, statistically, they should acquire 9 wins. That would be a dismal 26. That number could even be lower if Rubio decides to bolt. Also, 2 wins, Ollie and Carney are free agents. This could be another, long hard year for the Timberwolves
