And next summer he&#8217;ll definitely resume wheeling and dealing. For now, he wants to give the current players time to jell. They aren&#8217;t going to have forever, though. He already has put Ryan Gomes and Corey Brewer on notice that they need to have good seasons.<\/em><br \/><em><br \/>All this shifting around should result in several benefits. For example, program sales are expected to soar. You can&#8217;t tell the players without a program. Although in this case you may not be able to tell them even with a program. Several of these fellows are pretty obscure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Most important, all of these transactions should create interest. I know that I&#8217;m curious to see how all of this turns out.

How many players can put up 20 and 10 then throw in a couple of blocks on top of that? With the frontcourt of Jefferson and K-Love a year more seasoned, the Timberwolves should be better than they were last season.
