After racking my brain for days and days, trying to come up with a way to turn this team around, I think I may have found it.  Sure getting Kobe or Vince Carter would definitely help the Wolves’ cause.  But Kobe’s a pipe-dream, and while Vince Carter is a big name that would draw fans, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t do wonders for our team.  So after scouring all the “big name” players out there who could help out KG and coming up empty, I finally stumbled upon the man who could potentially clean up the Wolves mess.

When the #7 envelope was opened to reveal the Timberwolves logo, it was the equivalent of putting a bullet through this franchise’s chest.  Landing one of the first two picks seemed like the Timberwolves only hope of salvaging the dream of Garnett winning a title as a T-Wolf.  At that point, Wolves fans were left grasping for straws…

I mentioned in my semi-controversial Kevin Garnett for Greg Oden post that I had a few trades for the T-Wolves that didn’t involve KG. This trade above involving Vince Carter could be a possibility if the right circumstances played out. I realize that this trade is a bit of a stretch if you just look at it straight up, but depending on how things go with free-agency it might not be too far-fetched. Here’s the scenario which I envision for this trade:

Ever since the #7 envelope was opened to reveal the Timberwolves’ logo, I’ve been constantly running trade scenarios through my head.  Because while the Wolves will probably be able to snag a decent player at the #7 spot, it’s going to take a really, really good trade to turn this franchise around.

ESPN.com’s Bill Simmons posted his NBA Lottery Karma Index today.  I couldn’t believe how skewed his view of the Timberwolves was.  He felt that the Blazers, Bucks, Grizzlies, Celtics, and Sonics were all far more deserving of the picks than the Wolves.  Has our front office made some incredibly awful decisions that have gotten us to this point?  Yeah.  Did we probably tank a little to get where we are?  Yeah.

Seeing as there’s absolutely no Timberwolves-related news to discuss, I thought I’d take the time to promote my newest site, MillionDollarFlashGame.com.  The launching of this site is the culmination of an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for the past few months.

From The Minnesota Timberwolves Den at DeROK.Net:

It seems that the history of the Minnesota Timberwolves is destined to be defined by years.  It took the franchise seven years to earn its first playoff berth.  It took another eight before the Wolves would win a playoff series. And now the earth has spun around the sun three times since this team last played post-season basketball.
