No idea how much playing time he'll get/take, but I like how we are getting in a whole bunch of experienced guys to help out our youth.

I was about to post it but couldn't find the proper topic. Great pick up, he can teach our young wings about perimeter defense.

Do we even have the roster space? Who's getting cut?

I like how we have Prof. Miller educating the guards, Tayshaun helping the wings and KG watching over the big men. I think it will be a fun season.

Can have up to 20 players in the offseason.

As for the active roster, this probably is going to affect Rudez or Bennett.

Rubio/Miller/Jones
Martin/LaVine
Wiggins/Bazz/Prince
KG/Bjelica/Payne/Bennett
Towns/Dieng/Pek

Rudez gets bought out, and Brown is cut?

Nice move for the min.
Bennett or Rudez on the way out.

One possibility. Another is Rudez stays and Bennett is cut/traded.

If only we had these vets in their primes.

Bennett won't be cut, if they're going to eat a salary it would be Rudez. He could be traded.

I see:

Rubio - Miller - Jones
Martin - Lavine - *** ?
Wiggins - Shabazz - Prince
KG - Bjelica - Bennett - Payne
Towns - Dieng - Pekovic

*** maybe with Bennet being traded

Shabazz can play 2, 3, 4
Bennett can play 4, 3
Towns can play 5, 4
Dieng can play 5, 4
Lavine can play 1, 2
Wiggins can play 3, 2
Bjelica can play 4-3

Very versatile team.

Timberwolves are officially the new team vet players join to chase rings. We have arrived!

Prince is unique player. I watched video where he hit more than 7 threes in NCAA. Than he transformed into ultimate role player known for his hustle and defense. Despite being so skinny he was elite defender and never had serious injuries. If Shabazz or Wiggins can learn some defensive nuances from it will be huge benefit.

P.S. I still hope that we keep Brown though.

So many good players on this roster. If only Ricky can stay healthy this team will be so fun to watch.
Countless sleepless nights on the horizon.

Nice. He's the guy most of us guessed when flip hinted at bringing in another vet.
