What number seed will the T'Wolves be in the playoffs next year?

[Conscious Pilot]

Getting Butler definitely makes them a playoff team next season, barring injuries or chemistry issues. If Jazz lose Hayward they'll slip, Portland is gonna regress some though they had a decent draft. And the Clippers may be blowing this up. Memphis is only getting older I can see them not making it. Nuggets may be able to nab 8th


Minny needs a solid back SG Who can shoot the 3 and maybe a stretch 4 or 3 point specialist SF.


I can see them being 5 seed if the chips fall right. WIll be interesting if they are 7 or 8 and face warriors in the first round. The one team out west other than Spurs and Rockets are the Wolves.

It hurts seeing Jimmy leave us but i think its a perfect situation for them and wish him the best in Minny

If the Wolves get in, I see them being a 7th seed max

 

[Captain Crunch]

The Wolves will be a 8th seed if they play solid defense and shoot respectable from 3.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

7th seed. Derrick Rose bout to join them too

8th at best it wont be easy though.

I picked 6-8 but now that I look at the teams I'm not so sure Clippers are falling off a cliff if everyone, or even just CP3, leaves, and I'm not sure OKC can win 47 again w/that team. Russ not putting up those numbers next year. Hayward might leave the Jazz too

Just name the teams that'll definitely be better than them:
Warriors
Spurs
Rockets

That's it... If the Clips and Jazz stay together they're both better, but who knows

They've got a wide range honestly

Why will the Rockets be that much better?

Why will the Rockets be that much better?

They won 55 games in the West, could've approached 60 in the East. It was their first year under D'Antoni, I don't think the Wolves are touching that.

8-6. This would be their first time making the playoffs since the 03-04 season, which was KG's MVP season I think

They probably have the best defenders on the wing out West, KAT is only going to get better so they should be a tough team to beat night in night out.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

If they are lower than 5 Thibs should be on the hottest

They are loaded

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

7th

So you're saying they will win more than 55 & surpass last year

Not really, I'm saying they're one tier above them as a team right now. Will probably win around the same total give or take 2-3 games for random variability

Wiggins should be a good defender, but he's actually straight Hopefully Thibs can fix that this season. KAT was horrible on defense too.

If they get Point Gawd they'll be 5th easy.
