Wolves Updates 08/30

Steve Aschburner/SI.com gives the Wolves a "B" for their offseason moves.
O.J. Mayo might, someday, become a star with Memphis or another team. Trading him away on draft night for Love, a more limited and even positionless player at the pro level, seemed like McHale asking for more criticism of the sort that came his way for swapping Brandon Roy for Foye in 2006. But given Minnesota’s obvious holes to plug, the chance to land two rotation guys (Love and sharpshooter Mike Miller) for one Mayo was a "must” move. If only the point had been addressed.

In ESPN’s Summer Forecast , the sites hoops writers predict the Wolves will finish 13th in the conference. 
Minnesota has a different look this season — and they got new uniforms, too. By acquiring sharpshooter Mike Miller and rookie big man Kevin Love for draftee O.J. Mayo, the Wolves have put some nice new pieces around Al Jefferson. But the improvement will be incremental at best.
