The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in.
The Minnesota Timberwolves made a plethora of moves this offseason in an effort to push for the playoffs. Still, they seem to be towards the bottom of the Western Conference in terms of talent.
Gersson Rosas seems to be maintaining an aggressive mindset in an effort to surround his current stars with better players. That said, it still seems unlikely that Minnesota makes it with just how powerful the Western Conference seems to be (with the Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Warriors, and Trail Blazers being solid playoff teams and several others competing for spots as well).
