Anyone who’s listening to what Kahn says is an idiot. He wants to trade Al, then he doesn’t. He wants to trade Love, then he doesn’t. He hates Smith, hates Gomes, and hated Miller and Foye, and hates Brewer. These guys are going to ASK to be traded after the stuff they’ve read about themselves in the paper. Al is not going to be happy to be on another rebuilding team. I think he wants out of here. We’ll see.

Rubio fans…watch the highlight vids for next season and be happy. Maybe they can show them during intermission when you attend the Wolves games.

Flynn is a slash player from what I’ve been told.

Interesting Night. Funny Morning. Espn’s Chad Ford “thoughts” are all made in a delirium of twits and texts to bo-bo’s and agent underligs trying to get a “scoop”. One word for his “thoughts” Moronic!

As for this thread interesting thoughts and I thought more og’s would be bummed here. Glad to see the foresight on many of these posts. Strange draft yes, but bad by any means.

I think extra pick next years legit in a draft with more Bigs and depth potential. We didn’t draft a Slash Player for the first time in(awesome)? We did draft real talent and got the best value at those picks. Adding to the roster. Ellington was a great value pick and shooter, doods lights out.

At least the Timberwolves are adding talent. Real talent.

And the buyout clause is an “impediment”. Rubio is committed to playing for the Spanish team unless he buys out the deal.

alpha — As long as Rubio is under any sort of contract with a non-NBA team, the Wolves retain his rights.

i guess he already has the buyout option, so that can’t be enough

he must also have to exercise it, which would take $$ he doesn’t have

but I don’t know why he has to actually buy it out

all the CBA says is that
“under no contractual or other legal impediment to sign and play with such Team” … not no contract, but not contractual ‘impediment’ … if you had a buyout option there would be no impediment to getting out of contract
