It kinda looks like an Euroleague team no? 10 white players with 2 or 3 african american reinforcements. Not all people are happy with the racial makeup.

Minnesota Timberwolves fans may notice something different about their team this year. In a league in which American-born black players made up 75 percent of roster spots in 2011, the Timberwolves will have an opening-day roster comprising just 33 percent black players (five out of 15). According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, this year’s squad will be the league’s whitest since the 1980s Boston Celtics. Is that a problem? Some civil rights leaders in Minneapolis think so. Tyrone Terrell, chairman of St. Paul’s African American leadership council, told the Star-Tribune that he thinks the unbalanced roster could be seen as a ploy by the ownership to sell the team to a majority-white fan base. ‘How did we get a roster that resembles the 1955 Lakers?’ Terrell said to the Star-Tribune. ‘I think everything is a strategy. Nothing happens by happenstance.’

B.S. The Wolves have been playing better than they've ever been, even with stars like Love and Rubio out. They "additioned by subtractioned" 4 black players: Beasley, Wesley Johnson, Ellington and Martell Webster
