Post-trade, here’s what the Wolves have at each position, barring any upcoming roster moves still in the works.
Point Guard:
Randy Foye: The presumptive starter, Foye’s only entering his second NBA season, and has never been a full-time starter so far. Has great potential, but is untested.
Marko Jaric: The “big guard” is a big flop so far, [...]
It’s a matter of simple math, really.
The blockbuster deal made to send Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics for a half-decent shot at winning a ring, and restoring a future of hope to the Minnesota Timberwolves, has made it almost a lock that the Wolves will be cutting off the heads of a few more [...]
A dozen years into his NBA career and the player with the longest current tenure on any one team has now been moved for the first time in his career: future Hall of Famer, Kevin Garnett, is no longer a Minnesota Timberwolf!

I was so disappointed, I held my silence for almost a week now.
