After having only 32 wins over the past two seasons under Kurt Rambis, the Timberwolves are looking for more wins.
Rambis was axed over the summer before the lockout was happening. The Timberwolves went 17-65 in 2010-11.
Rambis was succeeded by veteran NBA coach Rick Adelman. Adelman has a 954-616 career record during head coaching stints in Portland, Sacramento, Golden State and Houston. He left the Rockets this past April.
Minnesota added Ricky Rubio, after a season with Regal Barcelona. Minnesota added a few new faces in guard J.J. Barea, veteran swingman Bonzi Wells and rookie guard Malcolm Lee. Barea played in 81 games for Dallas last season, averaging 9.5 points and 3.9 assists. He also averaged 8.9 points and 3.4 assists in 21 playoff games for the World Champion Mavericks.Wells last played in the NBA during the 2007-08 season, when he split the year with Houston and New Orleans.
The Timberwolves are counting on big things from this year's draft pick talented forward Derrick Williams out of Arizona.
