He'll be a star in a few weeks? Doubt it. He's garbage. Can't get ahead of Ridnour in the rotation. I wouldn't trade Nolan Smith for him. Smith has more upside.
I'd be interested in Rubio as a backup...he's still young...something like Pavlovic and a future 2nd rounder seems fair
50 wins, that's out of the question. Kevin Love being a big baby will derail that. Enough wins to make the 8th seed in probably the toughest conference in the history of basketball will due.
I don't think it's out of the question, however, the playoffs aren't a sure thing either. The Lakers aren't going to suck all season long, same with Dallas (getting dirk back). And Utah ain't too shabby either. Imho, of the bottom 5 teams (8-12), I think it's asking a lot for Minnesota or Portland to remain ahead of the other 3. Especially the Lakers and Dallas. btw, kingspeed, could his poor game have been due to having the not playing flu?
8-12, it will be a nail biter in my opinion for all those teams to see who makes the play offs. Minnesota and Portland. I like Minny chances because of all the injuries and this team is still around .500. Kevin love just needs to show up and play some defense. If Kevin Love ever shows up. Wolves could maybe pull off 50 wins. Rubio does need to recover faster. he's maybe 80 percent. Really missing Bud. The wolves 3 pt. shooting is beyond atrocious.
