The Timberwolves were gimpy at point guard before. They are seriously limping now.  Chauncey Billups has opted out of the final season of his three-year deal and will become a free agent on July 1.

Also in other moves the Timberwolves have taken the first step in trying to keep starting center Rasho Nesterovic on their roster.

Team vice president Kevin McHale said Tuesday the Wolves have made a qualifying salary offer to Nesterovic, a restricted free agent, meaning the team has the right to match any other team's offer beginning July 1.

As well as this unless you have been on Mars you would know that the NBA Draft has been completed, the Wolves picked up Michigan State point guard Marcus Taylor.
