The T-Wolves have six free agents (5 unrestricted and 1 restricted) this summer. The T-Wolves would likely want to bring back Darko Milicic as he played well for them as long as the price is reasonable. I don’t see the T-Wolves bringing back Brian Cardinal, Sasha Pavlovic, Oleksiy Pecherov or Damien Wilkins for next season. Nathan Jawai is a restricted free agent and I think the T-Wolves will bring him back for 2010-11 as he has a decent little upside and won’t cost them too much.

The Timberwolves will likely try to trade either Al Jefferson or Kevin Love this summer and I think that would be a HUGE mistake. So what if they have the same style of play? They are the best two basketball players on the team and the T-Wolves should focus on getting better players to put around them. Love is only 21 years old! Love played in 60 games (22 starts) for the Timberwolves last season and he averaged 28.6 minutes, 14.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. I think that Love has the potential to be one of the best forwards in the NBA and he could lead the league in rebounding if he got 10 more minutes a night. Love has played in 141 games (59 starts) in his first two years in the NBA and he is averaging 26.7 minutes, 12.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Once again I think the Timberwolves would be extremely stupid to trade either Al Jefferson or Kevin Love during the summer.
