Is There Any Hope for the T-Wolves?

After yet another season of mediocrity, the T-Wolves big free agent splash is signing a 31-year-old point guard with one good season under his belt. I see another 37-45 season on the horizon.... :-? :-? :-?

The signing that finally gets McHale axed.

THIS is the "big rebuilding effort" for Garnett?? I'd ask for a trade!

McHale must have pictures of the owner with a goat or something because I can't remember the last time I said to myself, "That was a damn good move!" It's like Pohlad with the Twins!

Get Garnett the help he needs to get it done and be competitive!

In all fairness to McHale, there wasn't much in the free agent market this year. But getting Randy Foye in the draft will help, he's a future dwayne wade type and will put up good numbers his rookie year.
Prediction: Twolves make the playoffs as a 7 or 8 seed.

Re: Is There Any Hope for the T-Wolves?

I'm guessing they are going to make a trade also because of how many guards they have.
Marcus Banks
Anthony Carter
Ricky Davis
Trenton Hassell
Troy Hudson
Marko Jaric
Rashad McCants
Randy Foye
Bracey Wright

They really need down low.

That's the thing mitchell2006, we've been saying things like this about McHale for years.

In all fairness to the fans, McHale needs to go!

Re: Is There Any Hope for the T-Wolves?

according to the article garnett called him and told him he wanted him. so maybe garnett is a bad judge of talent?

The version of the article I read said that James was swayed by the meeting in LV with Garnett and the Wolves. Not really sure that means Garnett wanted him, it could be that he played the good teammate/employee/host with Taylor and McHale. James was real clear on where he was going; whoever came up with the bucks. One good year, 31 years old, and took the entire mid-level exception. Foye better develop fast; because the T'Wolves track record means James will get hurt and miss 15 of the first 25 games; and then struggle the rest of the year. Yes, I am bitter.

I'd say you are a realist. Why should the expectation be for anything less/more? Perhaps they will trade and bring Cassell back.

Re: Is There Any Hope for the T-Wolves?

the t-wolves really stink in my opinion, i've been a spurs fan since well since 1990. i don't think the t-wolves have what it takes to be nba champs anytime soon. thats just my take on the situation. but they do have bad luck of signing free agents who soon after the season starts get injured.

The T-Wolves with KG have been like the BS Conference when it comes to expansion: A BIG TEASE!

I think Taylor should clean house and start over because they won't be able to rebuild in time for KG (who has been one of the greats) to win a title and the franchise just needs a mulligan after all of that crap they've gone through since they started.......perhaps a list of the 25 crappiest events in T-Wolves history is in the order?

I don't think anything can beat the stupidity of putting the illegal Joe Smith contracts in writing. I mean a wink and a nod is one thing, but memorializing them and then forgetting how many copies you made. Taylor is lucky, freeeking lucky, the NBA didn't force him to sell after that. He wouldn't have gotten very much when for the franchise when the league sets a sell by date.

Man, I forgot about that deal! I had just let the whole thing go from earlier. It's like dejavu all over again! The problems run much deeper than McHale!
