The Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons were both near the bottom of the NBA this season. It was a tough year for these two franchises and some big changes could be coming in the offseason. Both sides are far from contention but have a chance to make some moves that will reshape the lineups right away.
Detroit already made some moves this season to send veteran players away. It began when they traded Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks in the middle of the season. Blake Griffin and the Pistons agreed to a buyout before he agreed to a deal with the Brooklyn Nets.
