Supposedly the Timberwolves have come to an agreement with Russian free agent F Andrei Kirilenko on a 2 year $20 million contract. Rick Adelman wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to bring in some experienced players for this coming season as Kirilenko and Brandon Roy will bring in a ton of experience. They have really turned over their roster. Exiting are Michael Beasley, Wesley Johnson, Anthony Randolph, Anthony Tolliver, Martell Webster, Darko Milicic, Wayne Ellington & Brad Miller. Coming in are Brandon Roy, Andrei Kirilenko, Greg Stiemsma, Chase Budinger, Alexey Shved, Dante Cunningham & Robbie Hummel. I like the changes, they were really weak at the wings last year and have improved dramatically at both the SG and SF spots. I'm not sure if they are done yet either, I could still see them trading away one of their point guards at some point (although that may not happen until Rubio is healthy). They'll be fun to watch this year.
Projected lineup:
PG - Ricky Rubio, Luke Ridnour, J.J. Barea
SG - Brandon Roy, Alexey Shved, Malcolm Lee
SF - Andrei Kirilenko, Chase Budinger, Dante Cunningham
PF - Kevin Love, Derrick Williams, Robbie Hummel
C - Nikola Pekovic, Greg Stiemsma
