When we lost Jordan. One of a kind.

time after time and to other teams that had good guards.

The Wolves actually traded Sam Cassell AND a first round draft pick in a sign and trade for MARCO JARIC! They gave him a 6 year $40 million contract. Seriously.

Three teams (Boston, Portland, Memphis) are putting together contending squads right now around three players (one for each) who were all with the Timberwolves in the last two years: Kevin Garnett, Brandon Roy, and OJ Mayo. The Wolves meanwhile are patting themselves on the back for the key aquisition of Mike Miller, that’s right, Mike Miller! Only the dead and blind can’t see a losing team at the Target Center.

In 2002 in a choice between a blooming Chauncey Billups and $2 million cap space, the wolves chose space. They picked up Troy Hudson for a year after that. But on top of that they signed T-Hud to a 5 year $32 million contract in 2003 only to trade for Sam Cassell basically exactly one week after that, Cassell, of course, making $32m Hudson totally irrelevant on the court. Jaric was supposed to take Cassell’s spot as starting PG, but seeing as he has no PG skill or passability whatsoever, he lost his job to Hudson who obviously was still under contract, but then sadly both of them lost their job to Marcus Banks after a trade, who was subsequently cut after the season. So in 2006 when Brandon Roy was available to solidify the backcourt, the wolves were paying $13 million to Marko Jaric and Troy Hudson, both of which were inferior to a player who was cut due to poor performance. So the Wolves did the sensible thing and unloaded Brandon Roy. No way in hell could I support them after that, Go Blazers (and Grizzlies)!

Curry and Chandler sucked it up in the summer league when they were in their third year. I knew then that these two were never going to be stars and that the Krause plan had failed.
