Joe Friedman of Mavs Moneyball argues that the Minnesota Timberwolves raised their ceiling but became more fragile following major roster changes. After acquiring LaMelo Ball, Jonathan Kuminga, and Cody Williams, while parting with Naz Reid, Julius Randle, and draft capital, the team holds an over/under win total of 48.5 for the upcoming season.
