I'd take Shawn Kemp's knees over T-Mac's.

More so than him sucking, I'm extremely worried about TMac corrupting the team. Most notably Rose, who really wants him on the team. I'm not having good visions about this.

Oh yeah Boozer was definitely huge. I wasn't criticizing his mentioning Boozer there, so much as putting himself in the same sentence as Boozer and then not mentioning Korver, Brewer, etc. Especially when he's not even on the team. And I agree, If they're not above .500 I'll be quite disappointed.

BLOCKBUSTER TRADE OF THE DAY

nepg · 07-26-2010, 08:15 PM

Wow. What the ****, Kahn? I'm not a Wolves fan, and I can't believe this clown. What's the point in a salary dump when no one wants to play for your team anyway? What are you clearing cap space for? There's zero logic behind anything this guy does. At least McHale had a plan...a ****** plan, but a plan nonetheless!

He had Sessions on a team-friendly contract for a good PG, and he dumped the salary so he can go sign a ****** player. I think the guy is still under the delusion that Ricky Rubio will come play basketball for Minnesota...not happening.

I'm really surprised Atlanta didn't try to trade the Josh Childress exception for Sessions.

West is better at Sessions at basically every facet of the game and he gets paid about the same as Sessions.

Edit- But I guess we're thinking about waiving him. **** that ****.

You have the Knicks. They've been pretty funny to watch the last decade or so.

True. At least the Knicks have potential to be a really exciting team for once.

Management still believes Teague is the PG of the future, I'm hoping he steps up but I still don' trust him as a point. Sessions would have been really valuable. We really need to look for values like Sessions instead of just trying to chase Shaq.

yo123 · 07-26-2010, 09:53 PM

Maybe it's just because the triangle requires PG's to be able to shoot and Sessions might have the worst outside shot of any PG I've ever seen but I hated him and I'm happy with getting West for him. Telfair I could have done without though. **** I hated Telfair.

Me liking the trade though is contingent on us keeping Delonte, which we most likely won't do.

SeanTaylorRIP · 07-26-2010, 09:57 PM

You acquired West to waive his unguaranteed contract. I highly doubt he will sign with you. You also ended up giving a 2nd round pick to Cleveland.

Yeah I ninja edited my post. I still don't mind getting rid of Sessions though. I like Ridnour more as a fit for our offense.

Meh, its all a salary dump as Sessions didn't fit well in Rambis' offense and Ryan Hollins might be the worst basketball player alive. This trade saves us 4.1 million immediately if/when we waive West, which is more than enough to buy back an earlier pick than the one we'll be giving away. So all in all, not a big deal; just purging players from our roster that wouldn't have had a roll.

It worries me though that he's clearing this space with the incorrect thought that we can lure a legitimate free agent and not to buy draft picks.

The T-Wolves bastardized version of the Triangle is pretty ugly.

With the current talent on the team there isn't any offense that wouldn't look ugly. Although the moves Kahn has made still don't make much sense. For one taking Flynn over the perfect triangle PG Stephen Curry.
