OJ Mayo, pro basketball hall of fame, 2029.

Well, I can officially follow the Wolves again (albeit still from a safe distance), now that the OJ Mayo era is over. I still think that he is the kind of guy that will drive more people away from watching the NBA than to the NBA.

Is the picture at the top of this story not the summation of the entire McHale era?

McHale looking half crazy/half scared, while the player looks on in mild interest thinking “This guy is bats–t crazy–I hope he leaves me alone soon.”

And McHale was probably just telling stories about how great it was to be a Celtic.

Also impressive waffling by Sid already:

I swear I saw a headline from him last night that said “Mayo was the guy they wanted all along.”

Now? Gone. No mention of it anywhere.

Good to see you, too, Stu. Nice to meet Brandon and Mr. Lebanon for the first time, as well.

Let the OJ Mayo era, wait, what’s that? McHale pulled out his ouiji board and decided he couldn’t help himself?

The quotes from Taylor about Mayo are priceless now.

What a strange draft. With three of the first 34 picks, the Wolves end up with four new players - none of whom they actually selected. Everybody they actually picked will be playing elsewhere next year.

This may be Kevin McHale’s crowning draft achievement.

I heart Mike Miller down low!!

Thankfully, we have seen the last draft McHale will control.

I will be 70 before we go to the playoffs again. Thankfully, the rest of you will be in you late 40s. Rock on Vikes!

And before I go to bed, thanks for the beers and the truly awful cup of coffee, Michael. Good to see the rest of you miscreants, too.
