My only change is to give Love a few more minutes. I'd like to clear off some playing time on the wings, too. I wonder if one of Brewer or Ellington will be moved with Al? I think I'd feel better about the playing time if that happened. Also wouldn't be shocked if Hayward is in the D League for times.

Is the plan to see if Beasley can rise up and if he shows that he's the franchise we trade Love? That's how I look at it anyways.

With the wing situation we have, I expect Hayward to spend most of the season in the D-league. There just aren't minutes for him.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

If Beasley's gets into real shape and play the three for us and allow wes to play a little two we could see great basketball.

I like this Roster and its flexibility

Rotation Pattern
Starting Lineup =>Darko/Love/Beasley/Webster/Flynn
Johnson in for Love => Darko/Beasley/Johnson/Webster/Flynn
Pekovic in for Darko=> Pekovic/Beasley/Johnson/Webster/Flynn
Brewer in for Webster=> Pekovic/Beasley/Johnson/Brewer/Flynn
Sessions in Flynn => Pekovic/Beasley/Johnson/Brewer/Sessions
Love in for Beasley=> Pekovic/Love/Johnson/Brewer/Sessions
Darko in for Pekovic=> Darko/Love/Johnson/Brewer/Sessions
Webster in for Johnson =>Darko/Love/Webster/Brewer/Sessions
Flynn in for Sessions=> Darko/Love/Webster/Brewer/Flynn
Beasley in for Brewer => Darko/Love/Beasley/Webster/Flynn

Closing out the game => Love/Beasley/Johnson/Webster/Flynn

Beasley,Johnson and Flynn lead the team in minutes


lt will be very interesting to see how the substitution patterns unfold.

Who's going to defend the post closing games? You're going to have to put Pek or Darko in there.

But what role will Beasley play with the Wolves? Their frontcourt is rather overstuffed, with Al Jefferson (who David Kahn is trying to trade), Kevin Love, and rookie Wes Johnson likely to start. That means Beasley will have to come off the bench, which means fewer opportunities than he had in Miami.

Another ignorant national media member. Even if Al stays, there is no way that he and Kevin both start.

If Love can't handle the opposing center, then Darko subs in for one of the forwards depending on matchups. It seems team generally tend to throw out smaller lineup at the end of games.

once Al is traded, ill just assume its cap space. heres is what i would like to see.

Flynn/Sessions
Webster/Ellington/Brewer
Johnson/Brewer/Beasley/Hayward
Beasley/Love/Hayward
Darko/Pekovic

without Al, Beasley is the only player we will have that we cant count on to be a go to scorer. i think that and not being behind a ball demanding guy like Wade will benefit him greatly.
