    Wolves will make the playoffs this year.

    Got rid of a cancer called Michael Beasley.

    Signing Batum who is way better, Kevin Love will continue to improve, JJ Barea will be healthier this season and hopefully Rubio will come back strong from his injury.

    If Roy's knees hold up, they will be very dangerous.

    Agreed. If it weren't for all of the injuries last year, I thought they would have made the playoffs. They're an easy team to root for.

    Ricky Rubio....Brandon Roy....Batum....Kevin Love and that guy they got from Arizona.

    That is a lot of talent right there.

    I wish we trade him, but no one wants him. We just need to stay healthy and playoffs are guaranteed. It will be hard - there are 3 guys with soft knees (Rubio, Hummel and Roy), Pekovic and Love with regular 3-4 game injuries....
    Also, we need another wing player. Anybody needs Wes Johnson?

    Is that a joke or what? Where in the hell is Batum better than beasley? I mean, I love batum and all, even before he made it to the NBA, but let's not kid ourselves here, for as big as a cancer beasley is (he wasn't doing nothing there anymore), Batum he's not on his skill level.

    And how come everyone speaks about the Wolves making the playoffs and 2nd best player on the Wolves isn't even mentioned?

    Batum's basketball IQ only by itself makes him a way better player than Beasley.

    Ofc Beasley can go off for 30 points on any given night but he is absolutely more likely to shoot 4-14 and bury the team.

    thinking the same. Kevin Love is a top 10ish player in the nba already. Straight dominant. He gets a little carried away with the jumper.

    Most of this will depend on Brandon Roy. He will need to play a consistent 22 min a game for the wolves to make the playoffs.

    Derrick Williams is good but he still does not have the intangibles. Batum is this for sure that they got him and PORT won't match the offer?

    Rubio is kind of untrustworthy as far as injury goes and not a good shooter really. Still a great passer
