I think I’ve been on the computer too much, today. I’m glad he answered the question, though—I think we’ll be hard-pressed to find a rookie guard to produce like Mayo has. Interesting that he has us taking Thabeet. If that happens, what happens to Love?

Haha, I used to hate that draft things. The kind of silly answers they sometimes give … until I realized it’s not to be taken hyper seriously, since then I like them chats.

Don’t worry about McHale drafting Thabeet and then him becoming a bust. McHale is all for skill in big men, he won’t draft Thabeet. Also, where we’re drafting Thabeet is rediculous, is was routing for us to nab him with nr31 … not with nr2.

I think we have to pray pray pray for Rubio. A guy that doesn’t need plays drawn out, a guy that creates plays on the fly. He might be the missing link to fix all problems in our offense, make the offense flow and let our finishers finish.

Trading Miller to the Cavs is interesting. I imagine the Wolves could probably pick up a future pick for their trouble, too.

But the idea of the Wolves having $21 million in cap space is a little scary. It’s all too easy to imagine the team might be tempted into some questionable deals as they get desperate to get this thing righted.

Hell, the UFA I really want them to go after—Trevor Ariza—is a non-scorer, and therefore likely to be undervalued. I imagine they could easily land him without clearing space (they’ll already have $12 million available if they simply let all their in-house guys walk, as they should, McCants included).

???
Miller
Ariza
Love
Jefferson

That’s just one penetrating/creating/shooting/defending guard away from being an interesting team. Anyone know of any trees that grow those? Maybe in Spain?
