Judging the Wolves Off-Season Moves Part 6: Signing Brandon Roy

       Maybe the biggest splash the Timberwolves made in the off-season was signing Brandon Roy. If he can somehow find a way to return to anywhere close to the form he was when he was with the Blazers, this move will be one of the Top 5 moves the Wolves have ever made. The chances of Brandon Roy's knees allowing him to return to the same form are a long shot, probably smaller than the chance he can even return at all, but if the Wolves can get half of a game out of him it is still a good signing. With how weak the Wolves were at the shooting guard position, and with premier free agents unlikely to come to the Wolves, they need to be creative when putting together a roster, and this was exactly the type of calculated risk the Timberwolves will need to take to build this franchise into a play-off contender and possibly more. With a contract that will be easy for the Wolves to get out of if his knees fail, the Wolves get an A on the Brandon Roy signing.
