Timberwolves strike back!

[<-=*PdX*=->]

Taking Dante Cunningham! Our only weakness! How'd they know!?!?

 

[handiman]

I don't have a problem with Cunningham, I kind of liked his demeanor and his game so I don't fault Kahn for that. But holy balls, just how many Portland connections are there in that organization? Kahn, Adelman, Porter, Bayno, Love, Roy, Tolliver, the failed Batum attempt ...

Webster until they cut him, and Telfair not long before that.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Webster until they cut him, and Telfair not long before that.

Pat Zipfel as well

 

[Nikolokolus]

Webster until they cut him, and Telfair not long before that.

I knew I was forgetting guys ... but honestly how can anybody be expected to remember them all without writing it down.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Kahn is Kahn'ing himself, trades away Brad Miller, trades for him again a few weeks later.

Trader's remorse?

BNM

Story/ Sources: Wolves target Kirilenko w/ $9M a year offer, would trade Wes and 1st to make cap room http://bit.ly/NVt6Zv

WHUT. 9??? and traded away Wes Johnson who was a #4 pick and a future 1st? Trading away Wes J to clear space, ok I get it. But the 1st? I'm so glad we have Olshey.

Trader's remorse?

Can't trade for Miller, I don't think anyway.

It's beyond ridiculous. Minnesota, that is, not Nikolokolus for getting their Ridikulokulousness.

 

[Sedatedfork]

And they thought Portland was stupid for matching Batum's contract??

 

[Draco]

Crazy you have to give up a future first for someone to take on an expiring rookie contract for the #4 pick.

[BBert]

I feel sorry for Timberwolves fans. Honestly. This place would be on group suicide watch if Kahn were in charge here.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

a 1st for AK47?

He's worth it.

Will you feel sorry for them when they're better than us next season?

 

[Mediocre Man]

He's worth it.

Wow, do I disagree.

Not on that team

 

[BBert]

Will you feel sorry for them when they're better than us next season?

Yes. I'll still have hope and a belief in the future. That franchise is a cluster.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So Kahn is trading

Wes Johnson
Brad Miller
1 1st
2 2nd's

for

Brad Miller
1 2nd

 

[Sedatedfork]

My point is would you rather be paying Batum $11 mill a year or AK47 $9 mill a year?

 

[Mediocre Man]

So Kahn is trading

Wes Johnson
Brad Miller
1 1st
2 2nd's

for

Brad Miller
1 2nd

Actually trading

Wes Johnson
1st

for

Hakim Warrick

 

[santeesioux]

 

[Boob-No-More]

He's worth it.

7 years ago, yes. Now, not so much.

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kahn or John Nash?

They are very similar.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Kahn or John Nash?

They are very similar.

I will take Nash because he is closer to death, thus a replacement sooner

 

[Sedatedfork]

I will take Nash because he is closer to death, thus a replacement sooner

Harsh, but funny. I would take Kahn because Paul Allen hates him and he would be fired sooner.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

7 years ago, yes. Now, not so much.
BNM

Have to disagree. He had a great year for CSKA, and besides, most draft picks end up pretty crappy.

@wojyahoonba: Minnesota is finalizing a two-year, $20 million contract with free agent forward Kirilenko, league sources tell Y! Sports.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Kahn......LOL

 

[Ed O]

Will you feel sorry for them when they're better than us next season?

They weren't better than we were THIS year. I don't find it exceedingly likely that they will improve much..

I guess AK-47 is plan C(SKA), huh?

Ed O.

 

[Draco]

AK seems like he could be a good 4, but with Derrick Williams and Love I don't see how that team fits to well. I don't know if AK has the quickness of his youth when he was a great SF. Seems like with the modern NBA that may not work too well.

All Kahn seems to want to do is acquire 1's and 4's.

 

[Nikolokolus]

If nothing else, I'm going to pay a lot of attention to the Wolves this year. It seems like it's either going to work surprisingly well or fail spectacularly ... and that's fun.
