    Man that move at 2:35 was pure textbook…this dude seems like such a Utah type player, I can’t believe they passed on him. Hayward is a similar type guy but Babbitt is just way better.

    Welcome to Blazerland, Luke. Hope you’re enjoying your 1st day in Portland, today. Tell your handlers to set you up with a apt/condo on the west side of the city. You’ll love it.

    i dunno why the fuk twolves trade him to the blazers

  13. zs2157 says:

    @MisterBinx, The answer is never. They have 0 winning seasons without KG. They got lucky with one draft pick. I will say that there is a problem with the lottery because the Timberwolves have yet to have the first pick. Hopefully the wolves get rid of Kahn and hire Pritchard!

  14. zs2157 says:

    @grabbity , damn thats funny. When I heard they traded him for a guy that is 3 inches shorter, 2 years older, and basically the same player I could only laugh. They traded him because he can’t play defense in a league that no defense is played. It is hard to be a timberwolves fan.

    The final Pritchslap was executed on draft night 2010. When is Minnesota going to learn? Keep any player Portland wants from you. We already got Brandon Roy from them.
