And, when Ricky didn’t show up we’d still have a point guard, a guy who can score, and a guy with a 15 year career in front of him. I’d say fine to Flynn and Curry, but Flynn and Rubio? This franchise is cursed, from the top down. Amateur hour at the pro level, Pooh Richardson is the poster boy and the saga continues.

Q: Who would you have drafted with Minnesota’s two top-six picks? What would you have done? I don’t like the fact that we have seven point guards either, but we had to take Rubio even if he stays in Spain.
– J.T., Minnesota

SG: I would have drafted Ricky Rubio at No. 5 and Stephen Curry at No. 6. Then I would have sent Rubio 10 hours of Curry tapes and told him, “Look, we’re pairing you with an undersized guard with 28-foot range who could get off a 3-pointer if he were trapped in a phone booth. He’s electric. You will love him. You also get to play with Al Jefferson, who’s one of the best low-post players alive when healthy. And you get to play with Kevin Love, a top-10 rebounder who shoots 3s and throws outlets like Wes Unseld. It’s going to be a really, really, really fun team right away. We might get killed by scoring 2-guards with size, but so be it. We’ll figure that part out later. In the meantime, we want to give you the car keys and make you a star. This is your team starting today. If you want us to sign Spanish dudes as our 11th and 12th men so you have people to hang out with, we’ll do that, too. We just want to make you happy. Come play with us.”

Here’s what I wouldn’t have done: taken a second point guard (Jonny Flynn) at No. 6, then vowed to play them together. That pick was transparent — Flynn clearly was a “here’s our backup plan if we don’t sign Rubio” selection. Rubio saw right through it. Now he’s probably going back to Spain, and by the time he joins the NBA, David Kahn will be gone. Here’s to four years of a hot-poop sundae, Wolves fans! Enjoy. Would you like whipped cream on that? How ’bout a cherry?
