This all makes me a bigger fan of the team, I think. I'll be able to look back and say I was able to see Adelman's neo-whitey plan come to fruition. Now we just need Bachmann to become an official spokeswoman of the team.

HA! I came here to post this: www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/171265401.html?refer=y and to state that clearly Kevin LOVE is the racist. So happy, we only signed one rotation guy who is probably at least part-white (Roy). Almost like the lineup of the Lake Oswego rural Oregonians. Until you get into Portland proper, that's not a very diverse area, I tell you.

You guys are miles ahead of me.

Actually I think I have it figured out. K-Lav and Kahn are both from Oregon. Adelman spent a large chunk of his playing and coaching career in Oregon. Clearly everyone in Oregon are racists. They only broke the "whites only" team rule for Roy because he played for the Blazers. It all makes sense now.

Luke Ridnour also went to Oregon and he is just a wild bigot based on his on court attitude. Rubio also is rehabbing his knee in Colorado which is just a couple states away from Oregon. We really could be on to something.

Dante Cunningham was drafted by Portland. And so was Roy.

The only other 2 non-whites on the team are Malcolm Lee & Derrick Williams. Both played in the Pac 10.

I think we are on to something.

More specifically, Lee & D-Will are both from California. Adelman is also from Cali. hmm...

I'm also white and wouldn't complain about being the 15th man.

Technically, so is Love who is white/racist. McHale traded for Love and is from Hibbing where the movie North Country is set. This movie is about gender discrimination. Not the same, but it's another slight clue....

Love also played college ball in the Pac 10 in California. We have a Pacific Time Zone thing going here.

Are either of you from California and/or Oregon by way of the Pac Ten? No? Move on, then.

But Flash is from Europe so he could definitely be on the team. Are the Steamer and Barea the only 2 players on the team not from the West Coast or Europe? It's not looking good for CW's chances of making the team

Check this out:

Rubio - Spain
Shved - Russia
AK47 - Russia
Pek - Montenegro
Barea - Puerto Rico

Ridnour - Washington, PAC10
Roy - Washington, PAC10
Budinger - Cali, PAC10
Lee - Cali, PAC10
Love - Oregon/Cali, PAC10
D-Will - Cali, PAC10

Amundson - Cali, other conference
Cunningham - Maryland, other conference
Stiemsma - Wisconsin, other conference

Adelman - Cali
Kahn - Oregon

So there's only 2 players on the team that aren't int'l. or born in one of 3 West Coast states. One of those players (Cunningham) was on the Blazers. The other (Stiemsma) is extremely white. This seems like a ridiculous way to build a roster. Why wouldn't you open yourself up to the full talent pool instead of cherry picking from certain areas, the PAC-10 no less. Come on, UCLA churns out good NBA players but the PAC-10 as a whole is pretty weak. At least they are openminded enough to be at the leading edge of obtaining international talent.

Now that is a great post -- RH putting that together was worth my time reading it. That should get him to 200 Howls!

Well, not if you only look for players in certain parts of the world...
