Wolves roster rebuild Ant

The Wolves just flipped the script on their entire roster core after three seasons of stability that finally delivered their first conference finals run in over two decades. That streak of two consecutive appearances ended last season, and the front office immediately pivoted to build a new foundation for Ant. Julius Randle got traded to clear out cap space while Naz Reid moved to bring LaMelo Ball into the fold. They also locked up Ayo Dosunmu with a massive 5-year extension worth $112 million before adding Jonathan Kuminga to the mix. It is a complete overhaul: out of the nine players who averaged at least 18 minutes per game last season, only three remain on the roster. Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert are the only ones returning from that group. Donte DiVincenzo would have been the fourth player to stay, but an Achilles injury might keep him rehabbing for the entire season. The team is banking on this completely new formula to succeed.
