Kevin Love Carmelo Anthony New York Knicks

Kevin Love and Carmelo Anthony are two of the hottest names at the moment in the NBA. Apart from their superb performances, both superstars will become free agents soon and they will have the opportunity to sign with any team of their choice. Carmelo’s contract expires this summer and Kevin Love will have the opportunity to opt out of his final year with the Minnesota Timberwolves after the end of the 2014-2015 season. Although up to now we’ve heard of many potential destinations for each one, we have never heard of a scenario that wants them joining forces. [Read more…]

The ‘David Kahn’ Era

July 26, 2012 By 1 Comment

David Kahn

When Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor named David Kahn the president of basketball operations, he expected to have a playoff-contending team by now. Instead, in his four years on the job he has made more trades than times Dwight Howard has changed his mind about being traded, drafted more point guards than an apartment complex could support, and traded away more draft picks than Jarrod Saltalamacchia has letters in his last name. And now, the T’wolves are in another transition of which I am about to get to.  [Read more…]

The top six players off the Kentucky Wildcats National Championship winning team will be among those taken in the 2012 NBA Draft.  That includes the sharpshooting Doron Lamb.  While he won’t hear his name called early in the lottery like former teammates Anthony Davis or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, or even in the mid-first round like Terrence Jones or Marquis Teague; Lamb is confident he can be a solid contributor at the next level.

Minnesota Timberwolves “luck” might be turning around?

April 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Minnesota Timberwolves

I know the last few years have been down-right dreadful for fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Our last few draft picks (Wes Johnson and Derrick Williams) haven’t panned-out, so far or yet. But, Ricky Rubio brought a spark this season before his ACL injury. He lit-up Target Center with his maestro passing skills and non-matador-esque defensive ability that most of his teammates (Michael Beasley) have shown the past few years. He might just be the beginning of a Minnesota-turnaround, though.
