Now that David Kahn got the boot, it will be interesting to see what changes will be made to the Minnesota Timberwolves roster for the 2013-14 season. Newly appointed team president of basketball operations Flip Saunders has some very important decisions to make this summer as the Timberwolves look to end a nine-year playoff drought. 虽然Kahn开船走了，不过问题还是依旧留存着，这也考验着Saunders作为决策者的能力 We broke it down. To match, or not to match? Center Nikola Pekovic will be a restricted free agent and is expected to command a high salary on the open market. Saunders will have to to decide if the team will match any offer he receives or let him leave without compensation. If he lets Pekovic leave, who will replace the vacancy at center? 第二轮选来的球员就是这样，打得好很快就变成抢手货，又特别还是个高个球员， Saunders必须决定该不该与他未来的高额薪资拼斗。 Make up time The team’s relationship with star forward Kevin Love may need to be repaired, especially since the star player had an issue with Kahn last season because he was not offered the full, five-year maximum contract extension. Instead, Love can now opt out of his current deal in two years. If the team intends to keep Love around in the long haul, it is up to Saunders to prevent Love from bolting when his deal is up. 去年Love与Kahn在签约问题上相处并不融洽，因此他很有可能行使球员权利跳出合约 ，如果球队想要Love作为球队更长远的一份子，那事先准备是必要的。 What to do with the caged lion? Derrick Williams doesn’t really have a home on the court. Is he a power forward? Is he a small forward? Does he continue to come off the bench? Trade him? Williams showed signs of improvement last season but his best position, the power forward position, is Love’s. Andrei Kirilenko is expected to return on his player option and will certainly be penciled in as the starting small forward. DW没有固定居所，哪个位置是最OK的，这问题一直围绕着久久不散， 大前锋看来打得很棒，但那是明星前锋凯文爱的位置，那小前锋呢? 抱歉AK47也挡在那，而且明年看来还是会继续回归球队，还是先发的。 Who pairs up with Ricky? Brandon Roy didn’t work out. Who will be the starting shooting guard in the backcourt with point guard Ricky Rubio? Saunders might draft one in the upcoming NBA Draft or possibly appoint Alexey Shved. The team can’t possibly keep rolling out a starting backcourt of Rubio and Luke Ridnour, right? Which brings to the next decision. SG也是个老话题，Saunders该用选秀来补上这位置还是把着眼点放在喜美身上? 抑或...... Trade Luke Ridnour or J.J. Barea? With Shved capable of playing point guard, the team is loaded with too many point guards. Coach Rick Adelman had no real shooting guard options on the roster, forcing him alternate time at shooting guard with Shved, Rubio, Ridnour and Barea. 之前嫌PG不够用，现在连喜美都可以打控卫，那其他较缺乏高度的後卫势必有 交易出去必要，Ridnour or Barea? Budinger, Budinger, Budinger Chase Budinger is a unrestricted free agent reportedly wants to return to the Timberwolves only if Rick Adelman returns. It appears the team wants to bring him back, but cap space will need to be worked out to make it happen. 虽然布丁哥表示Adelman回来他就会回来，但无论Love还是Rubio或是其他球员， 薪资空间才是重点。 --
