Excellent read. Really clears up the current free agency situation for the Wolves. I hope everything Wolfson is saying is true, and it is a relative certainty that the Wolves end up with Hill and Stiemsma in addition to Roy and Shved. I also hope that Lee is their next top SG/SF target after Batum and that the price is indeed right. In my opinion, Brewer is not a close second because of his lack of offensive prowess. Also - Scola would have been nice and I would say that we missed out, but I don't think we need him.
Yahoo!/DraftExpress has us taking Terrence Ross at 18. I like that a lot better than taking Royce White, honestly. Though we could certainly use depth at PF and C, we need a wing in the worst way possible, as everyone knows.
Tony, Ryan and Brandon talk David O. Russell, Facebook pranks, a Papa John’s racism kerfuffle, some random nonsense and a whole lot of Wolves: specifically the last three games, potential trades, how to improve the team, an argument over DWill, free agent prospects and, yeah, more drooling over Rubio. Fun one. Have a listen.
Your prayers have been answered: it’s another NBA-centric installment of The Riff. Brandon and Tony talk power polls, sucker bets, crybabies, player grades, potential Wolves trades, "Name that Drug" and of course, about an hour straight of drooling over Rubio. Press play and allow our velvety tenors to envelop your soul. Or something.
Hey Hoopusters, I just wanted to share this link to a piece I wrote about the NBA and Stern's recent ultimatum. This is a blog my friends and I started, so we're trying to get a little bit more traffic! Please read it, I think you'll all enjoy it. Go Wolves! CBunk

I just stumbled across this article on Bleacher Report, so I thought I'd post it. It may be most interesting as an "outsider's" perception of the 10 biggest needs of the Wolves (there are many). I think a lot of the "moves" the writer mentions are fairly obvious (especially to Wolves fans), but it's a decent read. Besides - the players are locked out and the NFL and college football seasons haven't started yet. We need something besides a steady stream of Wolves coaching hire rumors to keep us entertained.
