It’s official, we now have the Timberwolves Trilogy. Go out and buy the box set and please, please, please buy tickets to watch our team lose 50 games next season.
Episode I - Ray Allen traded on draft day for Starbury - Oh what a joy it was to watch this deal materialize into some first round losses. Allen & Garnett, hmmm…didn’t they just win a title together 5 yrs after their prime? Episode I What Could Have Been.
Episode II - Brandon Roy traded on draft day for Randy Foye - It only took one year to find out this was a bad deal. Roy goes on to the win the ROY in 2007 and makes the All Star team in 2008. Foye gets you 43 starts over two years and manages a decent 11 pts and 3 assists per game so far, the equivalent of a glorified bench player. Roy has been averaging 18 pts and 5 dimes over two years. Episode II How We Traded Away An All Star Again.
Episode III - OJ Mayo traded on draft day for Kevin Love - Here’s the best part, when talking about how great the deal was for the Wolves GM Jim Stack predicts the Wolves will become “a major player” in the 2010 free agent market. Great, lets mortgage another potential All Star, trade him away for the 2nd coming of NBA bust Marcus Fizer who was also about the same height and weight. Seriously, do we need another Mad Dog on this team? Episode III How We Got Stuck With the Un-Athletic Slow White Guy.
Since when was draft day about setting up your contracts two seasons away? I give up. Lets make it five straight years without making the playoffs. Sweet!

When you see KLOVE for the first time he will change your opinion.
I am telling you right now KLOVE is the real deal and will make you very happy this trade went down like it did.
Minnesota / McHale does not need another JR Rider and that’s exactly what OJ Mayo is.
