The Minnesota T'Wolves are building behind arguably the #1 Power Forward in the Logo in former Westwood Bruins PF by way of Lake Oswego, Oregon HS Stud and 2012 Team USA Player Kevin Love and that is enough on Mr. Love....Lol!

Moving forward they decided and good thing they did to keep Montenegrin Center Nikola Pekovic so much so he and the 'Wolves agreed on a new 5-year $60 million deal that will keep him near and around 10K Lakes for at least five more years. They added both Corey Brewer back from the Nuggets, Sniper Kevin Martin from the Regulators OKC,  PF/C Ronny Turiaf of France, and Point Guard AJ Price of the Wiz Kids of D.C.. All that is mixed in with holdovers in Puerto Rican PG Jose Berea and former T'Wolves 1st rounder Derrick Williams. Its is a solid nucleus and with Spanish Point God Ricky Rubio with the Keys to that 2013-14 Twin Cities Whip.

2k13-14 TWIN Cities Hoops Roster along with Top Reinforcements

Projected Starter

PG "La Pistola" Rubio
2G Russian Alexey Shved
C Pekovic of Montenegro
PF "Lake Oswego Monster"
SF "Brew Crew" C.B.

Bench/Top Reinforcements*

PF Derrick Williams*
2G Kevin Martin
PG JJ Berea*
PF/C R. Turiaf*
PF Dante Cunningham*
G/F Otheyus Jeffers*
PG AJ Price*
SF Shabazz Muhammad (2013 1st Rounder)
C Gorgui Dieng (2013 Pick)
SF R. Hummel
SF C. Budinger

The T'Wolves when they get all their pieces back as SF Chase Budinger went down with a reported knee injury after missing most of 2012-13 with the same injury. K-Mart of OKC and "Brew Crew" of the Nugs is an instant upgrade for the Wolves. The Russian Shved and Montenegrin Pekovic are solid performers and round out the Starter with Rubio at the controls.

The Bench had former Wolves 1st rounder Derrick Williams and PG JJ Berea as their top reinforcements along with Vet Ronny Turiaf, Price, and Cunningham. 2013 Rooks Muhammad and Dieng will not get many looks as there are hardly any minutes behind the 'Wolves Solid Rotations.

Can Team 10K Lakes make a run in the Northwest Division and possibly finish above the .500 mark for a Playoff Berth? Vet T'Wolves Lead Man Rick Adelman is a good one.
