He said in April that the only two players who would return for certain in 2012-13 were Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio, and he reiterated that point Thursday. However, he added that – though he won't give names – there are five or six players whom he thinks will likely be back.

"That's not to say that everybody else will be gone," Kahn said. "I do think there will be some turnover, but I do think that the guts of the team will in some respects remain the same."

So who is here next year?
Yes
1. Love
2. Ricky
Yes Unless they are Traded
3. Peko
4. JJ
5. Derrick Williams
6. Luke Ridnour
7. Malcom Lee

Out - Under Contract
1. Darko
2. Wes Johnson
3. Wayne Ellington

Out - Not Under Contract (or Team Option)
1. Martell
2. Beasley
3. Brad Miller
4. Anthony Randolph
5. Anthony Tolliver

Seems like Peko and Derrick are the two guys who some GM out there might love as much or more than the Wolves

I can see your post if I quote it Pants. So I did that and then deleted it so my post will show up. it's the link to the article that is making it happen.

Yea, it's hard to play this game until the draft happens. Once that domino falls, other things will happen. If they have no interest in the pick, they'll try to package it with Martell, Miller, Williams, I imagine. If they want a player there, it might be less likely that Martell and Miller are traded. They'll keep the Miller savings themselves and then do the same with Martell. Money over winning, you know how Taylor rolls.

We'll presumably if a major move is going to happen there is a 60/40 chance it happens during the draft.

My gut says Peko will be moved and we'll get a song and dance about how he couldn't have been signed.

JJ or Luke could go, especially if the Wolves finally get one of those shooting guard something-or-others. Probably more trade deadline next year though. Since Rubio probably won't be ready to bust out of the gate (nor would it be a good idea to encourage him to do so).

Trade everyone except Rubio, Love, and Pek. Everyone else sucks is expendable.
Question: "Hey Antoine Walker, why do you shoot so many 3's?"

Answer: "Because there are no 4's."

Damn, it's crazy that it's already going to be the last year of his contract. Crap, I thought we had him for a long time. Doh. :(

I personally would like to see JJ traded. He may have some good value seeing what he did in the Finals just last year, along with the nice stat lines he put up at the end of the season.

We all know that those stat lines were very insignificant, but the numbers are still there, and it only takes one GM who covets him to make a trade possible.

I didn't realize Martell was gone. Good. I wouldn't mind giving Tolly the minimum to come back as a role player/bench guy/leader type.

I can't see KAHNman trading Luke. I think he & Lee are locks to stay, which makes JJ even more dispensible.

Mad Dog, please lay off the indica. You must be the only dude in the universe who wants Darko back in a Wolves uni. Darko himself doesn't even want that.

Is there a bad team and a GM dumb enough to give Darko one last chance on his expiring deal?

That one game Darko had against LAC when Love hit the game winner will forever live in infamy. Easily one of the best 5 Wolves games ever. In addition, "Infamy" a conjugation of "infamous" is easily one of the top 5 words in the US language that consistently gets used incorrectly.

I see Darko as a potential expiring type throw in (best case). I don't think he'll be in the NBA unless he goes to a team with roster spots and they hold him just to retrade.

If not that they tell him to stay home. No way is he invited back to MN.

Except that Darko isn't an expiring. His final year is like $2 mil guaranteed.

and you just used it incorrectly, or did you do that on purpose?

That's what I thought, but it's hard to tell.
