Minnesota Timberwolves Needs: Point guard, cap relief Picks: 11, 43 It was only a couple of years ago that Minnesota was viewed as a team that was on the cusp of becoming a contender. Karl-Anthony Towns looked the part of franchise cornerstone, Andrew Wiggins had a ton of promise, and Jimmy Butler was brought in to pull the pieces together. Instead, Butler threw a temper tantrum until he was traded to Philly, Wiggins looks good if you only look at his stats, but you’d be hard pressed to find somebody that actually believes Wiggins warrants making an average of 30 million annually over each of the next four seasons, and KAT, well, he’s great, but he isn’t enough to carry the team where it wants to go. In addition to Wiggins, Minnesota is paying bloated contracts to Gorgui Dieng (33 million over next 2 years) and Jeff Teague (19 million next season). Because of those deals, even though the Timberwolves have a number of roster spots to fill this offseason, they won’ t have cap space available to do so. They’ll have the #11 pick, which could net them someone along the lines of North Carolina’s Nassir Little, Indiana’ s Romeo Langford, or Gonzaga’s Rui Hachimura. All players that could help, but not players that really fill this team’s biggest need: point guard. Teague will enter free agency after this upcoming season, Derrick Rose played really well this past season, but was only available in 51 games (still more than Teague, though), and Tyus Jones was good but not great in 22 minutes per game. If this team wants to take advantage of the fact that they have one of the best young bigs in the game in Towns, they need somebody that can get him the ball in a position to get easier looks. That’s going to be easier said than done in their situation, however. With the team being hamstrung by their cap situation, they would greatly benefit by finding a team willing to take on the contract of either Wiggins or Dieng in order to free themselves of the mess of their own making. The number 11 pick, whoever it may end up being, will help, but without further moves, the Timberwolves will find themselves with a high draft pick again next season most likely. 球隊需求：控衛與薪資空間 Teague打完今年合約就到期了，另一位Derrick Rose打得不錯耐力卻備受考驗再另一位Tyus Jones狀態只是還行，現在球隊唯一強勢項目就是Karl Anthony Towns 極極極極極需要有人跳出來輔助他減輕負擔，不過球隊極大的薪資空間與時間分擔在兩位非頂級球員身上，將使得球隊的任何操作都顯得綁手綁腳，也許透過第11順位能對球隊提供些幫助，然而在未來沒好好重整將可能再次獲取高順位的簽位 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 180.204.44.31 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1559130580.A.5F2.html
