    LOL, yeah, I definitely was covering my ass. That's the problem with knee injuries, though. It could have been a mild sprain of the ligament or a complete tear. If they're operating on it, it's the latter.

    Well, for those of you that are familure with me....you know I'm heartbroken and hurt to no end. Being a serious Wolves fan and a big fan of Big Al....this couldn't have come at a worse time...since our young nucleus was starting to gel. At least not baring some trade for a legit bigman who can score.....we are pretty much looking at getting another top 3 pick in the draft this year. Which isn't bad considering we were'nt expecting to sniff the playoffs anyway. But it's never fun to have players on your team injured severly....even more so, when he's your star player....:sigh:

    Yeah, I thought about him and Raef but Webs was out pre-season and it doesn't seem like we miss him that much anyways. Raef, well, his contract is the best thing he's got going for him/us.

    OT... Jefferson done

    I think we don't have to worry about trading for him. He tore his ACL, done for season me thinks. First Wallace with broken ribs, now Jefferson than the Wiz reports they're keeping their big three, this must be a sign to stand pat and not trade?

    Re: OT... Jefferson done

    Yeah - good call. If only there were more than 4 players in the league. My guess is that Pritchard has just packed up his laptop and forwarded all of his calls to voice mail until June at this point.

    Re: OT... Jefferson done

    Wallace is still a possible target. Depends on whether Pritchard and the Blazers also believe he can return soon after the All-Star break.

    Vince Carter, though, would seem to be the most likely target.

    Re: OT... Jefferson done

    What are the chances that three guys we are looking at 2-3 out for season and the third is now team captain and considered untouchable? Very strange!

    I think Vice just like Tmac are great players that will never win a championship. Don't know if they have good mojo?

    Re: OT... Jefferson done

    Damn it. This means the Wolves can tank without making it look like they're tanking meaning it hurts my teams chances at Thabeet or Monroe.
