There goes my hero,
Watch him as he goes,
There goes my hero,
He’s ordinary.

no commentsThe general consensus about the Kevin Garnett trade I proposed yesterday was that the Bulls were giving up way too much and that they wouldn’t part ways with Kirk Hinrich. In my near tunnel vision for the T-Wolves, I hadnt’ realized that Hinrich had become such a valuable commodity. So here’s the trade, changed up a bit.
no commentsBefore I talk about tonight’s dismal performance by the Timberwolves, I’d like to say thank you to Marko “The Gigolo” Jaric for making me laugh. On a night where the Wolves embarrassed themselves with a 14-point loss (It was even more mismatched than the score suggests) to the Denver Thuggets, Jaric was the lone player who gave me something to smile about. His backwards jersey antics and that halfcourt shot he made at the end of the first quarter were the only two things keeping me from skinning myself and taking a bath in lemon juice. It’s safe to say that Marko is now officially my favorite Eastern European. (My apologies to Dolph Lundgren.)
no commentsFirst off, I’d like to mention that I don’t cook up these trade scenarios because I feel bad for Kevin Garnett. I honestly think no title would ever mean as much to his legacy as playing his entire career in Minnesota. I also don’t look at these things because I want to see him gone. It would be like a stab to the heart if I ever turned on my computer and saw that headline across ESPN.com’s front page.
no commentsNote: This article appears on The Minnesota Timberwolves Den at DeROK.Net (And it was written before the Wolves beat the Rockets. Yup, positivity goes a long way…)
After the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the 76ers to pull their lackluster record to 7-9, the Wolves broadcast team conducted an interview with point guard Mike James. It was your typical post-game chat; nothing really special. But amongst the usual cliche’s an congratulations, was a comment by Mike James that really stuck with me.
no commentsWhile surfing the net, I stumbled upon an article on SI.com by Chris Mannix touting several trades that the Timberwolves could make to “Free KG”. It was easily the second-worst sports reporting I’ve seen in months. (The honor of “worst” goes, without question, to Scoop Jackson’s blatant plagiarizing of YAYsports’ “Orange Roundie”.)
no commentsWhen I started TWolvesBlog.com, I intended it to be an extension of my Timberwolves coverage on DeROK.Net. I didn’t want or have the time to write a full-blown article every day, so using the blog format for quick thoughts and daily links and keeping DeROK.Net as the source for my major articles seemed like the perfect fit. I expected to cater to a small audience of Timberwolves fans and hopefully grow the site into a popular destination for Wolves fans
no commentsJust when the Timberwolves start to gel and look like a team with some promise, along comes the possibility of acquiring Allen Iverson. Although many fans are excited about the possibility of acquiring a perrenial all-star to pair with Kevin Garnett, I can’t help but wonder if any good can come of these new trade rumors.
