4) Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves fell three games shy of an NBA Finals appearance last season, which led to a blockbuster trade in the offseason in efforts to finally get the team over the hump. Unfortunately, those moves that the team's front office thought could get them over the hump have seemed to hinder the team more than anything. As of late, the Timberwolves have slowly begun to stack wins again, but they still don't seem to be anywhere near the level of play they were at this time last year. And with such different personnel, it's hard to think they will return to that level this season.
