I never bought into the talk last year that these Timberwolves were set up to be a force in the Western Confernce for the forseeable furture. Ant is a star, but I saw a lot of holes. The KAT trade was a surprise, but looking at their owner mess you knew a deep pocket owner was not going to keep that team together.
Where are they now though? Randle didn't work out. Conley has shown his age. Gobert will eventually show his age. I actually like some of their unproven youngsters but it is tough to count on them outside of potential good role players. While Edwards is great, I think he has proven he still needs to mature. That is normal, but he does not feel like a guy who sets the tone and help others try to reach the next level.
So what is their plan moving forward? How do they put a roster together that can compete for a top 4 seed year in, year out?
