So much of the coming season is uncertain for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They restructured their whole core and brought in a new star point guard in LaMelo Ball, and jettisoned cornerstones of the team’s past identity in Julius Randle, Naz Reid, and Mike Conley Jr. They even switched owners.

The Hornets traded LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, signaling a rebuild despite a strong finish to last season.
