Ouch.

Minnesota has made some under the radar moves. The current roster is now

Rubio/Barea/Ridnour
Roy/Shavd/Lee
Kirilenko/Budinger
Love/Williams
Pekovic/Stiemsma

If Rubio is healthy and 100% and Brandon Roy is 100% and regains form. The Wolves can be a Top 5 team in the West. The only legit contenders are the Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Clippers.

Oh Roy is supposed to make his comeback on the wolves? Hmm. They got rid of whathisface from Syracuse though?

Wesley Johnson? I think he got traded to the Suns.

Yup, that's it. The Suns are obviously rebuilding then. I wonder who else they have now.

Off-Season Moves:

-Nate Robinson will sign with the Chicago Bulls.

-Tracy McGrady will sign a 1 year deal with the Bulls.

-Guard, Willie Green (signed) and traded to the Clippers.

-Center, Ronny Turiaf will sign a 1 year deal with the Clippers.

-Carl Landry will sign a 2 year deal with the Golden State Warriors.

The Clippers adding Willie Green is the biggest move because they are incredibly deep already and just added a very solid shooter/defender.

The Clippers now have a bench of: Bledsoe, Crawford, Grant Hill, Lamar Odom, Ronny Turiaf, Ryan Hollins, Green. Insanely deep.

Top 3 team in the West potentially.
