So, Vegas simply doesn't think the Timberwolves will be very good. That's fine, and somewhat expected.

Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune has said he thinks the Wolves could win 39 games this season.

At Media Day Corey Brewer made an interesting point about the 2012-2013 Nuggets, who finished as the 3rd seed in the Western Conference despite not having a prototypical superstar on the roster.

Sure, the Wolves may be young, inexperienced team, but, at every position other than power forward, they will have at least three competent players ready to step-in at any time. Assuming they remain healthy I believe the Timberwolves are capable of winning more than 25 games, perhaps maybe 30 or 35. Although, this is a generous guesstimation.

Can their depth and undeveloped talent overcome 100 to 1 odds and win the Northwest Division? I doubt it. The Wolves should have a better shot at it than the Utah Jazz, though. At least that's my thinking.

What do you think of the SuperBook odds?
