Just did a mini-article of HoopsWorld's analysis of all the moves the Wolves made this off-season. On the front page or here:

Overall, it was ok but I think he was pretty harsh on Telfair. Drafting Love was an "A+?" I'm not so sure about that either.

Yeah, he was way off on SeBass.

You're spot on CW, but I disagree with one thing (both with you and the HW guy); Jason Collins.

I wrote this a million times, but oh well. He's horrible as far as offense is concerned but he can surely gie us valuable minutes at the C spot defensively. He's a good shot blocker and a good 1-on-1 defender in the post. Plus he's a 7 footer, a veteran. Defensively he's better than anything we had at C since Ervin Johnson... but, yeah. That wasn't hard to achieve. I think that with his defense, ok rebounding and not getting in the way offensively he can mesh well with Big Al when they're playing together.

If everything fails he's still a valuable expiring deal (this time it wasn't us who signed him!) just 3 million less in the expiring department but he'll easily give more than 'Toine did.

I went through it, did he leave out the Chalmers part of the draft? I know Chalmers isn't a perfect PG, but I think giving him a chance on this team would have been nice, especially since there's no guaranties with those second rounders. I think that move brings down our draft grade a small amount, because we basically got nothing back for him.

That was the "I didn't catch any twolves games last year" analysis of Bassy. It is also like the ole... "Team A should have signed a stud Center to go along side their star PF" type analysis where they don't give any names of who should have been signed. Did he think the wolves would be better of with Dooling? Jason Williams? it isn't a long list of guys who fill that spot.
