Timerwolves could be Title contenders next season... Don't laugh...this might happen Rumour has it Gary Payton wants to play for the wolves and team up with KG..he has stated he is very interested in joining them Ricky Davis wants out of the cavs and the managment want to trade him to free up room for lebron...so he could be traded to the wolves were he was set to go last year before cavs matched the wolves offer for him Jalen Rose for Terrell Brandon's contract..could very well happen..bulls could use the cap and rose would be on a good team.... wolves starting 5 mext season could be PG Gary Payton SG Ricky Davis SF Jalen Rose PF Kevin Garnett C Mark Jackson that is one hell of a team..if KG ever gets double teamed..he can just kick it out to GP,davis or rose..all 20 point scorers with the teams they are on... thats my thoughts on this matter...
He won't if they get rose..as the bulls is the only team he could go to by trade...and besides payton will only sign because of KG..as they are best of friends
Re: Timerwolves could be Title contenders next season... Obviously I hope everything you said happens but I'm not getting my hopes up too much yet. GP and KG are tight and GP has said the Wolves are his #1 choice but will he play for the $4.5 Million Exemption because that's all we have to offer? Davis will probably be traded because of Lebron but all we have to offer is Wally and I'm not sure the Cavs want him. The Rose trade is very plausible and I'm hpoing it goes down because KG would finally have a true 2nd scoring option on his team. Also I'm not sure if Rasho will be resigned. I think he will continue to improve but he is very soft and will need to improve that part of his game if he's going to be a top-tier center.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "thefranchise3":</div><div class="quote_post">Can the Twolves afford all of this?</div> thas wha i was thinkin...i dunt even think GP gon go there and Garnett is goin to the bulls
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "thefranchise3":</div><div class="quote_post">Can the Twolves afford all of this?</div> Afford what? payton? they can offer the 4.5 or 6 million for like 4 years or something like that...the others wont' be a problem as they will go by trade of course.. And GP likely will go to wolves...he is has said wolves are his 1st option along with bucks...and i highly doubt KG goes anywhere now....bulls will keep their core of players.
If all that happens....the whole NBA would change for the best....the T'Wolves would be the team to beat but Hudson will ride the pine but I hope not...
Would there be enough basketballs to go around? I know KG wouldn't have a problem, but Rose and Davis most definately will have a problem if they don't get as many touches as they think they should. They would be like the Blazers, just ready to combust at any time.
rose wouldn't have a problem. he's used to feeding the ball inside to eddy & tyson. he knows his roles. it doesn't matter though, he won't end up in minnesota
Knows his role by passing it inside to Tyson and Eddy? Those guys hardly got any touches so how can he be used to it? When they had big games they got a lot of touches and that didn't happen a whole lot.
Bulls vs Sixers. Eddy is 14-16. Bulls vs Nets. Eddy is 9-13. Bulls vs. Sonics. Eddy is 12-16. Jalen is 0-4. Seems like a decent amount of touches to me. Jalen has scored a lot when the Bulls needed him. Especially in the 4th quarter, when younger, less experienced players falter.
You just basically restated the points I made. Curry and Chandler had big games when they got lots of touches, and that didn't happen very often which means that Jalen didn't resort to throwing the ball down to them as much as you made it seem like.
Very true,curry and chandler didn't get enough touches in most games this year..the time when they finally did score alot and make an impact was when the knew they couldn't make the playoffs and rested rose more and he took less shots.Which meant better performances by the curry,chandler and crawford.

Re: The kid above me has a solid legit point . . . and lets remember its the T'Wolves . . . they make pety, unnoticable trades . . . (i know, die hard Twolves fan {KG fan first}) I can see em signing GP and actually the Wolves love Ricky (tried to sign him last season but the Cavs matched their offer) . . . . . . but all in one off season is doubtful

Eddy didn't get as many touches early because he couldn't catch the frickin ball. Tyson's hands were more reliable, but he still had trouble scoring. They both learned how to use their bodies towards the end of the season.
