Sounds like a good offer to make if you're the Lakers and know that Kahn is a moronHornedMessiah wrote:
Heard on ESPN radio today a rumor that the Lakers offered Pau Gasol to the TWolves for Kevin Love and the 2nd pick in the draft. Seems like a pretty crappy trade offer, for the TWolves that is.

Re: Timberwolves
LOL...this is one of the worst handlings of the HC spot I've ever seen. Fire your coach on draft day?!
Plus, the whole homework essay thing...what coach is going to want to come here and work for bosses like this?

Exactly. Im sure the Wolves will attract a big time HC with the way they run the team.
Re: Timberwolves
Wow, check this out. Bill Simmons uses two trades to turn the TWolves into a contender.
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/669 ... de-picture
Phoenix trades Marcin Gortat (50 cents) and Jared Dudley (quarter) to Minnesota for the no. 2 pick (50 cents), Jonny Flynn (dime), and Nik Pekovic (dime). Final tally: Phoenix (70 cents), Minnesota (75 cents).
Minnesota trades Michael Beasley (quarter) and Martell Webster (nickel) to Detroit for Ben Gordon (dime) and Austin Daye (dime).13 Final tally: Minnesota (20 cents), Detroit (30 cents).
unfortunately, he notes that Phoenix isn't willing to let go of Gortat, so it won't happen.

They need a new GM too.

this should be enough to get the gm fired.The second round of Thursday night's NBA draft was full of obscure players from foreign leagues, but no one selected has as unknown a profile as Tanguy Ngombo. A 6-6 forward from the Qatar League, Ngombo was virtually unknown by even the most committed draftniks until Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com tweeted about his potential selection by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round.
Sure enough, Givony was right -- Minnesota took Ngombo on Thursday night with the 58th overall pick. ESPN appeared to have ripped his highlight video straight from YouTube and his profile photo from Google Images, while analyst Fran Fraschilla compared him to Sidd Finch, a baseball phenom George Plimpton made up for a now-notorious April Fool's Day hoax in a 1985 issue of Sports Illustrated.
It turns out that Fraschilla was at least partially right: Ngombo exists, but his story doesn't check out. When the Wolves selected him Thursday night, they thought they were getting a 21-year-old golden nugget hidden from all other times. Instead, they found pyrite, because Ngombo is really 26 years old. Givony tweeted the truth on Friday afternoon:

Re: Timberwolves
It's a second round pick in the NBA. The failure rate is astronomical, so really, who cares. If you want to fire him, do if for his past drafts, not this pick.PurpleMustReign wrote:

Re: Timberwolves
I don't really follow basketball, and for all I know this kid will turn out to be great, but it just seems to me like a real bonehead move to select a guy knowing so little about him.glg wrote: It's a second round pick in the NBA.

Re: Timberwolves
It was the 57th of 60 picks, there's nobody with any serious talent left, so you take a wild flier on a guy.TrenchGoon wrote: I don't really follow basketball, and for all I know this kid will turn out to be great, but it just seems to me like a real bonehead move to select a guy knowing so little about him.

Re: Timberwolves
i'm with goon on this one. obviously there is not a plethora of nba ready guys who are drafted in the fifties. but that is still no excuse to get a guy you know nothing about. i mean, you could take the two best players from every team that cracked the sweet 16 this year and find a guy with talent and one that you can have even basic knowledge about. i'm not questioning the overall talent of these guys picked later.....but they may as well drafted me! no excuse for drafting a guy that you know so little about.....
i'm ready for a beer.
