    You are not really paying attention are you.

    I will keep it simple for you, here is all you need to know: Expect to lose.

    Learn it, embrace it, Live it. You will thank me later.

    No, you should expect top lose. The Blazers are in a no lose situation unless they fuck it up someway.

    Again, there is no offer to match because you guys don't have the money to offer him

    Wolves must be pretty confident in something - Batum match, or Batum S&T, or ability to move at least two players in separate deals.

    Yes, Kahn has made some mistakes, however, he is a lawyer, lawyers know fine print better than anyone. Hear me now and believe me later. The Wolves will be able to sign everyone they are rumored to be signing.

    Embrace it:

    Wolves lose 21 of their last 26 games with a healthy Kevin Love at the helm.
    The Wolves only reached .500 eight times in their 23 years of existing.
    Average attendance rank since coming into the NBA: #23

    Learn it.

    Love it.

    Embrace it.

    Think about it.

    Well then there you have it... from the writers you so worship. He is saying in no uncertain terms. The Wolves must know what they are doing.

    I think they absolutely do know what they are doing. I think they are trying to get the Blazers to take crap for Batum or lose him. I also think the Blazers know what they are doing which is calling their bluff because they don;t have 11.25 to offer him right now. Then both teams will say if you want Batum this is what it will cost, and the other will say ok and both will be happy

    We bottomed out a few years ago and it took us exactly 4 years to get back on track.

    Or maybe they are starting to believe they won't get Batum, so they're moving on.

    Yeah, you would be surprised... even with the popularity of the Vikings... the two big signings of the Wild and .... yeah, Baseball... the Wolves still garner much attention among their fans.

    You guys excited about the football season coming up? How do you think the Portland... oh wait, you don't have a team. That is weird. Well, I mean being up in the Northwest Hockey must be huge, what free agent are the ... oops, you dont have a hockey team? Wow! Well atleast you have base... nevermind. Go Blazers!
