http://www.nbadraft.net/team-needs-northwest-division-4 Minnesota Timberwolves Needs: Wing players Picks: 13, 40, 44, 53 Let's get this out of the way right off the bat: they need Kevin Love in order to continue moving in the right direction. Pekovic is good, so is Rubio, but neither of those players can do it on their own. Granted,the team has struggled to win with Love, but there is little chance thatthey will be able to get anything near equal value if they deal him. On the other side of this double-edged sword, if they lose him for nothing the cap space they gain won't help them all that much as Minnesota isn't a major free agent destination. So what this means is that the Wolves need to find some way of convincing him that Minnesota gives him the best chance of winning. Granted, this is easier said than done, but it's what must be done to make this team a winner for the first time since Kevin Garnett left town. If they are lucky they will be able to find a team that is interested enough in the 13th pick to trade a veteran player that can help them right away. This would go a long way in showing Love they are truly intent on winning. If that scenario doesn't play out, the Wolves must find a player that can step in and contribute right away because a project player will only serve to chase Love from town. Nik Stauskas or Rodney Hood would be able to come in and provide some shooting from the shooting guard/small forward position and should be able to play right away. Another option could be Kyle Anderson. Anderson isn't a shooter, but he is a point guard in a small forward's body and could help to keep Love even more involved in the offense. It might be a bit short sighted, but this may also help to entice Love to stay because while winning is important, all players like to be highly involved with what the team is doing. --
