It was a fun 4 years and I love competing for ships, but I'm looking forward to this season as well. I want to see how Bosh plays differently, if Wade can regain some form, and how the team rebuilds. What will be fun is the regular season mattering again. The last 3 years (the first year it did) the regular season was inconsequential.

This isn't the NFL. Wiggins isn't a QB. And the Timberwolves aren't a terrible offensive line. It's basketball. Lebron developed into a brilliant player in spite of being drafted by a shitty team. Paul George? Blake ****ing Griffin? For Christ's sake, if Blake Griffin can put the goddamn Clippers in contention, there's no reason why a prospect like Wiggins can't one day do the same for the Wolves. |

Wiggins isn't on the table. Correct?

Sorry the piss shit Wolves had to demand not to be raped in the trade and ruin your dreams. We'll be sure to stay out of the limelight until our turn to be talked about happens again in another 5 years or so. |

The problem is that Minnesota has just drafted horribly. Not so much in the individual players, but overall it's just had absolutely no direction. Directionless franchise. They absolutely need to make a couple more moves, because even with Wiggins and Bennett, that team is nowhere near complete. |

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. |

I'm angry every day.
You saw what Rust Shack made me do in the other thread, right? |

Lol I wish. Iowa State has gotten away with him playing "Center" the last few years, but he's way too small to do that in the NBA. A center is our missing piece. Varejao is more than serviceable and Tristan will probably see some minutes there too... But we need a big rim protector.

I still think Bennett will surprise some people. Won't be elite by any means... But he will end up being a good starter.

PG: Steph Curry SG: Demar Derozan SF: Paul George/Gordan Heyward PF: Kevin Love C: Pekovic Instead, Kahn Drafted: Rubio over Curry and Derozan Flynn over Curry and Derozan Wesley Johnson over Paul George, Gordan Heyward, Greg Monroe, and Boogie Cousins That's the best team in the NBA with Paul George, and a top 4 team in the West with Heyward in his place. Kahn is the Scott Pioli of the NBA. Same personality, too.

But that's 3 straight years of making the wrong choice when you're at the top of the draft. Just ****ing unacceptable. |
