WallyWorld NOW ONLINE Administrator Posts: 4733 Thank you received: 288 Howls: 18	Sadly, I think the only person to blame is Taylor. There are definite pros and Kahn's for signing him for 3/4 vs. 5. But we have seen a recent trend of guys bolting...it's unsettling. I just hope Kahn can get that #3 player. That's the main thing that has me immensely worried and we have seen GM's completely fail in that regard time after time after time after time. That is the key.

I mean he is 19. Give him some time to show what he can do. Didn't most of us here want to trade Love in his first year as pro?

The thing that I see that leaves me optimistic is that Love and Rubio could play alongside a wing or a prototypical Center (like Gortat or someone). They are both versatile and aren't ball stoppers or shot hunters.

A guy like Gordon, Granger, Gortat, Martin, Iguodala, McGee, or Mayo could make a huge difference. Batum could help but I don't know if he's that key guy.

I continue to be scared of adding a ball stopper like Monta. Every game I watch, even when he does pass the ball, he still dominates the movement much like the old Arenas led Wizards. I don't think adding one of those guys should be that hard, half of them are on losing teams and a couple have been shopped heavily and not extended (Batum and Mayo).

Good idea. You're right. I'm sure by the time he's Love's age he'll be a star too...only problem is in 4 years Love will be gone because he's still waiting for someone else worth a damn on the team besides Rubio.

roundhouse NOW ONLINE Ricky Rubio Posts: 7417 Thank you received: 326 Howls: 35	Yep that's my thinking as well. This team has shamelessly been selling potential and hope for a loooooong time. Now they are on actual 3 year clock to put together a winning team or K-Lav bolts which would be crushing for both the fans and the organization. Not even Glen Taylor can be dumb/cheap enough to want that to happen. It's sink or swim time and for that I am happy.

I thought there were more than two of us since Rubio joined the club.

You know what you could do? You could write really long, well written memos expressing your opinion on matters such as these and then put them on the front page. Every time differing opinions arise you could NOT make them into front page posts so that your opinion continues to trump all and you begin to develop followers here. Because yours would be the opinion we'd read all the time, naturally we'd begin to buy into the propaganda, thus the cycle perpetuates. It perpetuates because as your followers we'd denounce differing opinions and 'rec' yours, making sure all newcomers know who gets the privilege of giving us our ~~opinions~~ facts on the Wolves. In order for this to work you'd have to name yourself after the patented pull-up jumper move of heralded Wolves PG Terrell Brandon.

F*ckin joke. If you don't follow, don't worry I'm not venting to you. Thank you moderators for not shoving your opinions down my throat.

Oh man that would be so cool to be the next SNP and have minions and everything. Instant self esteem booster. But I'd have to go out and get some barefoot running shoes or whatever they're called and I'd have to make some really bad draft boards. I don't really even like jogging, I don't know if I'm cut out for this.

Well Roundhouse, do you have any habits that are completely unrelated to basketball that you could post on the front page whenever you feel like it? I don't know, maybe something like cooking Korean food?

Winner comment. Also, most other GM's don't like Kahn and won't trade with him unless they benefit from it, or if it's a salary dump situation where we help them out.
