Carmelo's complaining is giving me a headache. He has great abilities and great leadership but he just won't let things go. First it was that situation of not going back into the game and now with Larry Brown. I really hope he matures cuz at this rate, he could turn into Isiah Rider.

Googs I think signed with Boston. Danny loves those old timers past their prime.

Exactly. When you have a chance to join the Minnesota Timberwolves... you should SEIZE it!

No joke, I had a dream last night which included Karl Malone, and in it he was talking about which team he would play for next year, and he was saying that he wanted to go to the Wolves. It was weird, if only it were true :sad:

Ok, so who hear heard that Kevin Garnett and Flip Saunders were in LA today recruiting Karl Malone? It was printed in the St. Paul Pioneer Press yesterday, and today this was printed in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Quote:
There is no truth to the rumor that Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders and league MVP Kevin Garnett are planning to fly to California to try to convince NBA veteran Karl Malone to sign with the Wolves. Garnett is headed to Europe on a vacation. And Saunders has a commitment to speak here today. "Malone doesn't even know if he wants to play anymore," said Kevin McHale, Wolves vice president of basketball operations and general manager. "If Malone decides he wants to play, we would love to try to work something out with him."
Now who has heard the constant rumors that Wally Szczerbiak is minutes from being traded to the Caviliers or the Blazers or the Knicks? Well those stories are all printed in the Pioneer Press aswell, and everytime they are printed the next day the Star Tribune comes out with quotes from Kevin McHale saying that he hasn't even talked to anybody about the deals.

To me this is getting kind of rediculous that they keep printing speculation and calling it fact. I think that this paper is just doing it so that when it makes the national media (since it always does) it will say "The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports..." I already sent an email to their offices complaining about this false reporting, if anybody else wants to here is the address:

They really are whores. I can't stand the Pioneer Press. They even scooped the U Hoops scandal just so they could sell papers. Who cares if the University of Minnesota's Final 4 appearance is wiped from the record books... who cares if we're sanctioned to hell and the state of Minnesota has to suffer... at least they sold papers!

What is this talk about Shareef for Kidd? Don't the Blazers already have Stoudamire and Van Exel?

Shareef is a solid power forward who can get you 18-10. The Nets just lost Kenyon and probably want an inside presence. Plus, Nets are gonna try to shed contracts and Kidd's contract goes till 2009 I believe. Shareef's expires next year so, thats a lot of money they can spend after this year.

Nets are clearing house, so it's obvious that they wouldn't be too hesistant on that trade. The price they pay now will make more money for them later. SAR comes off the books next year, and they could also try to unload another unwanted contract if they wanted to. They can tank this season, build a newer young core with all the draft picks they've got from Denver and what they would get from Portland and themselves as well. They seem to want Telfair in return as well, which I think the Blazers might not want to part with.
This could help both teams, the Blazers get a proven all star who turned a terrible team into a contender, arguably the best pg in the league, a triple double threat, and someone to take the pressure off Randolph. The stack of Miles, Randolph, and Kidd is essentially what NJ had 3 years ago. A great pg, a strong, just blooming pf, and a young developing SF.
However, it seems Minnesota is in the race now to try and get Kidd, with a three way deal rumored with New York.
New York gets Wally and Aaron Williams, Minny gets Kidd, K. Thomas, and Moochi Norris, Nets get Ervin Johnson, cash, and Cassell.
I just got that off hoopshype.com if anyone is interested.
Lots of different possibilities are shaping up here.

I'm sure you read that in the Pioneer Press, and I can assure you that Minnesota is not going after Kidd, and we are not trading Wally, Cassell, or Ervin.

Kidd listed Minnesota as a place he would like to play, thats all. He doesn't fit into our system, and right now we have the deepest team in the NBA. All of our roles are filled. We aren't broken so McHale won't try to fix us.

I can't blame teams for not wanting Carter. The best element of his game (slashing and going to the hoop) he won't/can't do consistently.

Plus he is injury prone.

If the Wolves were going to go after a guy like Carter, it seems like Spree is the guy we would want to trade, as he has a similar game and is past him prime now. Personally I don't think the Wolves should change their lineup at all, they're so deep right now its not even funny.

They won't do that trade because they have to absolutely stupid to go through with it.
Here's just one reason you shouldn't....in 5 seasons, Steve Francis played 374 games, including one season where he was plagued with injuries. In 6 seasons, Vince Carter played in 383 games, and he was consistently "injured."
Carter has been around longer then Francis, and they still have almost the same amount of games played. Their stats are close, it's just that you'd be giving up a hard nosed player for someone who taking off his warmup suit gets injured.

Yeah we proved your claim wrong last year, when we started a CBA player at point guard.

Oh, that would make sense. Last year we were plagued with injuries, but if we weren't we could put out a team of five non-starters who could probably make the playoffs...in the East

C Olowokandi
F Madsen
F Szczerbiak
G Hoiberg
G Hudson

We should just pick up a few extra shitty guys and play a second team against poor opponents
