While the Timberwolves usually do not do anything right, they potentially have a solid future in front of them. A potential 2011-2012 lineup in Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Wesley Johnson, Johnny Flynn, and Ricky Rubio is no joke. However, what does it all mean? What is the true direction of this team? It is almost as if they are drafting good players for the heck of it. This team needs direction, but it is unlikely to happen.

Kevin Love and Al Jefferson are trying to help Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis make an early lineup decision.

Rambis isn’t sure how much he will play Love and Jefferson together this season, but both forwards would like to pair up more to give the Wolves a strong inside tandem.

Love and Jefferson started only eight games together last season. Jefferson’s knee injury, which kept him out of the final 32 games, ended possible plans of former interim coach Kevin McHale giving the duo an opportunity to tune up for this season.
