Congrats to the T-Wolves...I really like the way James plays. He plays with a lot of balls and always wants to win. His ego can get the better of him sometimes, and the only criticism I have with him is that and his psychotic interviews.
If james acts up, then kg will just jack him in the face like he did to rick rickert. the guy hasnt been even close to the league since. and i think that next year this team may contend for a title, so maybe he did make the right choice after all. if we add a solid center, we will definately be a contender. btw, WOOOOOOOO, a twolves thread made it to page two!!!! it took some "recruiting" but we did it.

Not likely at all
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">Would Rickert really have been close to the league if KG didn't punch him? Not likely at all </div> no, but he couldve in a few years. i dont even think he showed up for practice the next day btw, why does the U of M have all of these players. Przybila, Rickert, Humphries. All of them show promise, leave to soon, and joel is the only one with moderate success after like 5 years of sucking.

Randy Foye and Mike James don't turn your team into championship contenders in one season.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">I think your being too optimistic.

They have players with great future potiental, but have their center piece ready to win now.
RD and KG never got to really get used to each other. so this year is really like adding ricky, james, foye, and blount. that is a lot different. i really think that we will be good. our lineup on paper looks as good as just about anyone in the leagues. PG James/Foye/T Hud/Jaric SG Foye/Hassell/Wright/Jaric SF Hassell/Ricky/Reed/Jaric PF KG/Eddie G/Mad Dog C Blount/Eddie/Mad Dog we can easily go 10/11 deep and still be a good team. We really underachieved last year, cant wait for next season
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">our lineup on paper looks as good as just about anyone in the leagues.</div> No problem with the positive attitude, but thats a long shot.
I know its not like we are gonna beat the spurs and heat right now. But our team has the potential to do just that. I am really just hoping to win our division, denver isnt getting any better, the jazz are always injured, and the sonics look like they are rebuilding. We could've won the division last year if it wasnt for that trade taking so long for us to mesh together.
There's been talk of a Jaric for Miles trade a couple weeks back. I honestly think Miles gets too much Heat in Portland for his attitude. Does anyone remember how he played in Portland when he got traded? How about how he played at the start of last season (before he had surgery)? Thats just a some of what I and many think he's capable of. Pair him up with KG, and he'll be lethal. Obviously he's not going to be the superstar many hoped he would be when he first entered the league, but he'll be good a player if he's given a shot on a team like the Wolves PG: James/Hudson/Foye SG: Davis/Foye/Hassell SF: Miles/Hassell/Davis PF: KG/Griffin/Madsen -C: Blount/Griffin/FA After checking out the roster, picking up another big wouldn't be a bad idea. Though its hard to find a quality big to crack the rotation.
