2012 NBA Offseason Preview: Minnesota Timberwolves


Players Returning
PF Kevin Love
PG Ricky Rubio

Key Free Agents
SF Michael Beasley (RFA)

2012 Draft Picks
#18, #58

Team Needs
SG, C

Ricky Rubio's season-ending ACL injury really put a damper on the Wolves' season, but he should be back by the start of the season and ready to step up his game in his second season in the NBA. With Derrick Williams doing a fine job at SF, it seems that Minnesota will either let Beasley walk, or include him in a sign-and-trade, specifically to the Lakers. If they let Beasley walk, they'll have a good chuck of cash to spend on a nice free agent. Look for them to get a perimeter scorer at the 18th pick, like UCONN's Jeremy Lamb if he drops or Terrence Ross from Washington. Either way, the T'Wolves could make a serious run at making the playoffs next year.
