Draft Day Scenarios for the Timberwolves

Nash to the Timberwolves? Makes Sense For Both Teams
On paper, Steve Nash to the Timberwolves seems like it would never work. Especially if the main trade chip being sent to Phoenix is Jonny Flynn. That trade seems less likely than coach Eric Taylor and Vince Howard’s dad becoming friends. (Yes, I’m watching the NBC version like it’s in real time.)

While I may be slightly biased as my Kemboner has … [Read more...] about Kemba Walker Is A Perfect Fit For The Minnesota Timberwolves
Timberwolves, Kahn Miss the Boat at the NBA Trade Deadline
The NBA trade deadline came and went with the Minnesota Timberwolves only making a minor move to acquire Anthony Randolph from the New York Knicks. While it was a low-risk, high-reward move, it was a trade that I thought would open the flood gates.
