The Timberwolves’ front office has been acting with a purpose these last two seasons. Flip Saunders has been steadily acquiring young players that will be the future of the franchise (Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns, etc.) while simultaneously bringing in veterans to help mentor them and show them what it takes to win consistently in the NBA (Kevin Garnett, Andre Miller, and Tayshaun Prince).
Ricky Rubio is the only piece that was here before Flip Saunders came back that still looks like he’s part of the long-term plan.
