    This is one of the weirdest examples of bad reporting I've ever seen.

    Quick is lying to us that the meeting was an accident. Batum is lying to Quick that his agent didn't know the meeting would happen. The agent ending the meeting was prearranged between him and Batum.

    Why are you still here? I thought we traded you to Real GM for all these Timberwolf trolls, I mean fans.

    I'd take him for 8-9. You usually have to spend at least 5-8 mil for a starting quality player unless you've got someone on their rookie contract. Some may ask what's the big deal about over-paying by 2 mil, but the problem is, if you take that attitude with every signee, it really adds up.

    Now that was entertaining.

    If they were Laker trolls, OKC trolls, SA trolls or even Memphis or Denver trolls, there could have been a little sting to all this.

    But these are Minny trolls . . . so easy to laugh at all this.

    Right? They've been a door mat for the past decade. Totally blindsided by all of this.

    Is now the time for me to tell all the T-Wolves fans that Kevin Love is the most overrated player in the NBA?

    And they have yet to make the playoffs.

    At least they're consistent at something.

    It's kinda hard to defend a 5-21 record with a healthy Kevin Love.

    :lol:
