    First, you will see the demographic shift in the NBA, more and more teams will become more white. Then, we'll begin the re-enslavement of the black man, next, we invade Mexico and turn the entire country into a vacation resort, refugees will be forced to do our landscaping as serfs.

    This is only the beginning.

    Why are you whites in this thread? We already know what you'll say. Stay out of it.

    While this thread is pretty funny, you do have to wonder about Minnesota's intentions. It's like Utah in the late 90's... not a soul brother to be found in a soulless town.

    You can't look at their roster, look me in the face, and tell me it was put together for basketball reasons, rather than marketing reasons.

    C'mon... really?

    How can you spend your offseason bringing in Budinger, Kirilenko, Shved, Stiemsma, and Amundson, on a team whose 1-2 marketing punch is Love-Rubio, and then act like your motives were solely based on the game of basketball and not catering to the local community?

    I understand that the inverse, "OT: Minny is too black," sounds ridiculous. However, you can't contrapose the original logic. We're talking about a predominantly white community going out of their way to fill their roster with the game's minority of players to cater to their community. It's only right to question the motives.

    Would you not question the motives of the Florida Panthers, if all of a sudden, all the black players in hockey wound up on their roster?

    Because their first three targets were Nic Batum, Jordan Hill and Brandon Roy? Because they waived Webster in order to make the offer to Batum? Because as part of the Batum deal they tried to trade for Wilson Chandler? Because Wesley Johnson sucked so badly that they cut their losses to get cap space? Because they offered Anthony Tolliver a contract and brought in Hassan Whiteside, but Whiteside (amazingly enough) wasn't good enough and Tolliver wanted to sign with ATL? Because they wanted to talk to Andray Blatche, who said 'no thank you'?

    No, you're probably right, they're racist as fuck.

    This only becomes a real issue if they suck. But then again, if they suck really badly it'll be because they're missing Rubio and/or Love...

    exactly. The more that Malcolm Lee and Dante Cunningham play instead of Rubio and Love, the fewer wins MIN will have.

    Batum is half white.

    I wonder if Kahn looked into that.

    Anyone else think Luke Babbitt is wearing a Timberwolves uniform next season?

    Yeah, but nobody could tell if it was because of race, or Kahn's Portland fetish (or both).
