Minnesota enters the 2009-10 season playing the role of the proverbial team in transition. Ever since the departure of beloved Wolf Kevin Garnett, Minnesota has languished near the depths of the NBA’s pool of teams. Minnesota had a dismal 2008-09 season. The fallout began when the former General Manager Kevin McHale traded the draft rights to O.J. Mayo and several scrubs for the draft rights to Kevin Love and cash considerations. Mayo had a stellar rookie year, averaging over 20 points per game for the Memphis Grizzlies, while Love languished on the Minnesota bench.
Now, former Laker’s assistant Kurt Rambis takes the reins in Minnesota, and takes over a team that desperately needs a sense of identity after a 24-58 season.
