<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The inability to acquire Michael Finley or Earl Watson, both free-agent guards, means the team plans to improve from within for the coming season rather than seek outside help. No other deals are pending. Look for the Wolves to invite John Thomas and Anthony Carter back to training camp. Thomas also could get offers from the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers.</div> Source
They should keep Kandi on the block until the trade deal line...if he at least shows some form of life during the 1st half of next year then a team in meed of size might give the Wolves something for him...but other than that it isnt much left the Wolves can do once they dealt Cassell and took Wally off the trading block. Basically,they have ran out of chips to move to get better for next year. Now that have to hope that Marko is as good as Mchale claims, a strong rookie campaign from McCants and Eddie Griffin to be the "Eddie Griffin from the 1st half of the 04-05 season", not the Griffin from after the all-star break....if those parts fall into place with a few un expected things then they will be right there in the playoff mix...I dont think Wally is a great #2 option, but they still got KG as the main option and at the end of the day, that over rides everything else.

Garnett will get you there, they will make the playoffs with him alone riding on his shoulders... but to only be booted in the first round year after year. McHale had the framework built out great and destoried it with some weak moves. Garnett is only getting older and probably more frustrated with the years that go on. He isnt 20 years old anymore and if the Wolves want to make it with him as the center piece, they need to make more efficent moves on the court, even if it hurts them in the future.
