Minnesota Timberwolves: The General Manager Game

The Minnesota Timberwolves sit with a top-heavy roster. With Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell both all-star caliber players, the back half of the starting lineup (and roster in general) need significant work.

Under the assumption James Johnson accepts his player option (worth roughly $16 million), the Timberwolves will have about $19 million in salary-cap space before bringing back any restricted free agents. Minnesota also currently holds three draft picks -- currently projected as the third, 16th, and 33rd overall picks, which NBA Draft website Tankathon ranks as first overall in total draft capital.

Regardless, the Timberwolves have lots of options.
