    The nice thing about Minnesota is that you have the 4 major sports. I mean you guys have lost more major sports teams than Oregon has even had?

    They'll have to just to afford him.

    Getting shit from an organization who drafted an ineligible player is awesome

    Been there, it's just not. It's not bad, by any means, just not the same as Oregon's

    The one thing I am scared about is if we were going to match any offer why are we so publicly upset about it? Shouldn't we just do it and be done with it? Batum is never going to were a Timberwolves jersey! You know nothing!

    Not after he tore his ACL.

    I like Ricky. I think he's a flashy player. He'll be fun to watch. I think he'll be able to run an offense, but he needs to fix that God-awful shot, or teams will be able to slow him down. I dunno. Just not sold on him yet. I do like him, just not yet sold on him. Reminds me, at this point, too much of Jason Williams.

    LOL at new dude who is slightly biased about all things Minne over Portland.

    You guys have such hard-ons Portland so much you're taking our retreads and becoming the Hipster Capital of the US (and you're even joining our board).

    He meant this guy:

    Far be it from me to argue with the Eminem of St. Paul, but I don't think anyone in Portland wants to hear your excuses about injuries. We're the best at injuries, so back off.

    You got us there.

    1. rookies rarely shoot well and are usually incosistant
    2. 34% from 3 is not god awful

    ricky is going to be an allstar, no one is worried about his shot. he can get into the lane and dish it to kevin or pek for easy buckets

    Minne wants to be like Portland so bad that all of their players decided to get injured.
