My alterations are that the Wolves ultimately find a taker for Koufos and don't bring Steimsma in and decide that Joe Alexander's "potential" is too tempting to pass up.

I'd like to see them sit tight with 14 players and leave a spot should somebody suprise them in FA or in their training camp.

I could see each one of those things happening. I wouldn't be shocked if our only remaining roster moves are Koufus (for a future pick), Telfair (to sign a different PG), and Alexander. That would put us at 14.

I just don't think there is a spot for him and he will be gone...

I also would like to change my starting SG from Webster to Brewer. And I think it will be close between Brewer and Johnson at the end of the year. But right now i'll leave that Johnson but it could change

PG - Jonny Flynn
SG - Martell Webster
SF - Michael Beasley
PF - Kevin Love
C - Darko Milicic
--------------------------
6 - Corey Brewer
7 - Luke Ridnour
8 - Nikola Pekovic
9 - Wesley Johnson
10 - Anthony Tolliver
11 - Wayne Ellington
12 - Kyle Weaver (fingers crossed)
--------------------------
13 - Lazar Hayward
14 - Greg Steimsma
15 - Joe Alexander

That's my end of season take. I think that ultimately the "veterans" will win out, so guys like Brewer and Webster will be getting a few more minutes then Johnson. I also have Koufos and Telfair either being bought out or traded for no return and the team turning around and signing Weaver, to help fill in for Flynn at PG because he's the kind of defender Rambis likes, and Alexander, in case the cheerleaders get lonely. I also think Steimsma will make the cut but he, Hayward and Alexander will probably spend most of the year in the D-League.

Joe Alexander = Green ... all athleticism and no brains ... there's simply no fit here and that's a good sign for a change. I just can't see the point unless there are plans to move one of the others.

Nice to see there are options, and hopefully players are motivated to earn positions.

14 - Stiemsma
15 - Alexander

I think Rambis will like Tolliver, and he may have a bigger role than first thought. Brewer started every game last season, and I think Rambis will start him again at least to start the season. Beas will get the starting spot after some contention.

Wow, we're pretty close. Only real difference is you moved Tolliver up three spots.

The ranking should really look like this though

PG
SG
SF
PF
C
---------------------
6-9 -
10
11
12

Because the 6-9 group could be any position based on need, fouls, etc.

I know its semantics but I guess I found it weird ranking Ridnour 7th, Webster 8th and Pekovic 9th when they could come in at any time.

I was thinking about something a bit. Ryan Gomes was arguably our 3rd or 4th best player last year. This year, he'd probably be 9th or 10th, at best.
