Re: Wolves Win! Woves Win!
Think it's safe to say, A.J. Price will be on the team. I didn't think he'd make his way on, but the guy has been the best out of those in the running for the last couple of spots. Hummel's box score isn't too pretty, but I have to think Adelman likes him enough from his comments.
"I don't worry about him not shooting the ball," Adelman said. "He does all the other little things on the court. He's always in the right spot defensively. He gets those same shots, he's going to make shots. I don't worry about him missing shots. He just fits right in with the team he's on, whether it's the first group or the second group."
So, if you made me bet on it, I'd say those two round out the roster with CJ getting bought out.

Re: Wolves Win! Woves Win!
Based on production and Adelmans interviews, I have a feeling we will buyout Chris Johnson's salary and keep Price & Hummel. Am I crazy to think Rubio will get a quadruple-double at least once during his career, if not this year? Only four players have gotten one before. David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Alvin Robertson, & Nate Thurmond are the four that have. Pretty good company if he does huh? I can't wait for the season to start!

Ha, 2-15 shooting from the field and 0-4 on threes !
But his overall line is why he is a player who still intrigues me. 11 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in just 26 minutes. He continues to be a player who makes things happen on the court, but struggles to put the ball in the basket. I know this will be controversial, but do you know who he reminds me of offensively...Andrei Kirilenko. If you look at their offensive stats last year, they are remarkably similar (defensively, of course, Turner is not nearly as disruptive).
By the way, as a public service to all of us that wish Flip had been able to resign AK, let me provide this update: He's missed the last 4 games with back spasms. AK averaged only 62 games played his last three years in the NBA, and there's no reason to believe he's gong to play more this year at age 32.

Re: Wolves Win! Woves Win!
I hope we keep Hummel. I wouldn't cut CJ yet. He can be a trade chip for his contract. The rest of the guys likely will be sitting around waiting around in the D-League. Count me in as a person that would like to see ShaBazz grabd the starting spot and split the minutes at SF with Brewer. I would say there is about a 20% chance that Brewer is the starter. I think Adelman wants to bring him off the bench.
