Minnesota Timberwolves-What Is The Road From Here

Changes have been made, and people have been fired since David Kahn took over as General Manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves. For better or for worse, this team has broken all ties with Kevin McHale, and has started to go in a separate direction. A new group of players now howl, where the old ones once yelped. Changes have been made for the better.

What we have

The Timberwolves are headed in a different direction, we have taken an exit to a run and gun style of play. We have two point guards that are lightening quick in transition, and make some very outstanding passes. We have a player that rebound and give an outlet pass in the same motion, and also be able to keep up with the guards to give them someone to ally-oop to. We have a player can get out in transition, and knock down the three if he is open. And lastly, we have the perfect trailer, if the fast break get stopped, he can set himself up in the paint and give us two points.

What we don't have

When David Kahn took over as the General Manager of the Timberwolves, he made sure we knew that this road we had taken, had a lot of bumps and bruises, but in the end we would get to our final destination. As Timberwolves fans we have gotten used to being bumped and we the scars to show for it, but we are not used to someone telling us, that the road ahead is bad and that we need to buckle up, we have not been able to imagine the emblem of the Larry O'Brain trophy sewn on to the jersey of our beloved team. Now, I can imagine.

But for the time being, this team is on the worst part of the road. We do not have a true center, but two power forwards, running up and down the court. We also do not have a good short forwards, that can defend and finish in transition.

But, after this road there seems to be another road slightly less bumpy, over all better than the one we are on now, and that road will appear in the 2010 NBA Draft. We have a chance of having 3 first round picks next year, and if David Kahn can make some moves like he did this year, we might have to in the top 10 again. And, the best part about next years draft is that it is stocked with big men ready to prove themselves on the big stage. Two players that I am paying especially close attention to are Cole Aldrich and Al-Forouq Aminu.
