They absolutely need to make a couple more moves, because even with Wiggins and Bennett, that team is nowhere near complete.

Coaching.
And really shitty drafting by David Kahn, obviously, but once some extra talented players were assembled around Love, it was shitty coaching.
Kurt Rambis and Rick Adelman are not very good indicators that say whether or not the Wolves not reaching the playoffs or not is because of Kevin Love.
On the drafting front, I REALLY like our last two drafts. We're beginning to build a much better team. We're getting away from embarrassing ****s like Wes Johnson and Jonny Flynn. We've got the beginnings of making an actual balanced team now, one that can play both offense and defense. And there's absolutely no reason to think that Flip is going to stay on as head coach. Glen Taylor has made it very clear that he doesn't want this Grand Poobah Decision Maker of All Things position to last very long with Flip. I think he'll coach one season just to get this new look team off the ground with no Kevin Love drama, then hire a guy next offseason.
