Judging the Wolves Off-Season Moves Part 5: Signing Andrei Kirilenko

     After missing out on Nicolas Batum, the Timberwolves decided to make a different big splash at the small forward position, and this move came with a lot less drama. The Timberwolves switched their intentions from Batum to Andrei Kirilenko. This move will provide the Wolves with someone who brings in veteran leadership, can help Alexey Shved transition, and a very good player. Andrei Kirilenko makes his living off a doing a little bit of everything. He can score, he can dribble, he can play defense, and he can hopefully fit very well into Coach Adelman's system. He appears to be a perfect fit, even if the Wolves had to overpay a little to get him. The good news is the deal is only for two years, and won't cripple the Wolves too much, as they didn't need the money this year, and will make things work next year. Andrei Kirilenko was another great move in a very good off-season by the Wolves, giving them a grade of A- for this move.
