Ric Bucher is saying this is almost done.
But Minny is saying it's totally done.
Who's 'queef'? Better be someone on Philly,. or this trade doesn't work.
damn forget what I was saying in the other thread Kori. That makes the wolves damn hard to beat this year and mean as .
Queef = Van Horn
It's a done deal.
wonder how kg and spree will get along?
Minny had a nice offseason, but I certainly don't think they vaulted into the SA/LA/Sacto area of the stratosphere.
Spree is probably loving it, cause doesn't he have some car business up north over there somewhere??!!
I'm official switching teams, I'm a wolves fan now. Okay not really at all. Nobody can replace the Spurs, but I am still getting excited about watching them this year. Kandi, Spree, Wally, KG, and Casell makes one of a great team.
Call me crazy, but the Kandi acquisition won't be any better for them than Marc Jackson was a couple of years ago.
I'll wait to see how they fill out their bench before I judge them, but right now, their starting backcourt players are both in their 30s. This is a short haul team, built to convince KG to stay. Of course those horrible moves by NJ last year seem to have worked, accidentally if nothing else.:wink
damn...who woulda thought Minny would be able to improve that much in the offseason with nothing to work with....
those damn glitzy east/west coast teams have all the luck...
I'm pretty disappointed in what the spurs have done this off season. Nestorovic was a decent pick up, but if we end up with horry and boykins...i think we should do better. really wanted to get spree, though i understand we cannot give up manu or malik. wonder what the knicks see in van horn?
Minnesota had Brandon's retirement to work with.
McHale's rep took care of Kandi.
Minnesota offered Rasho a LOT more money than they payed Kandi. THAT should tell you something.
Also Cassell and Spree both have championship experience. I'd say this puts them up there with us in terms of contending. it probably makes them better than everbody but the Lakers on paper. If the Tim and KG matchup is a wash this year, like it is every year, the Spurs had better watch out.
this team might exployed
looks to me like a bunch of guys who will want shots
be intertsting to see if they can player TOGETHER as a TEAM
Why is it the typical Spurs fan's reaction to think that every team that improves during the off season, is going to have personality conflicts like Portland. KG is a better passer than Tim, he regularly has more assists than Tim by like 2.
This doesn't look too promising for the SPURS
Twolves get considerably better, Lakers as well -- not to mention other teams like the Suns, Clippers, GS, shoul dbe improving -- not to mention a healthy Kings team will be tough.
Doesn't get any easier -- would be nice if we got more than Rasho
I completely agree with you. The wolves have done what every team needs to do, put themselves in the best possible position they can for the upcoming season. They now have scorers at every position and they also have a team that can play some defense. Damn........Why is it the typical Spurs fan's reaction to think that every team that improves during the off season, is going to have personality conflicts like Portland.
Tex
Minny is doing what they need to do to improve. Kudos to them for that. I don't know if this team will make it out of the second round, but they will at least help KG get over the first round hump.
I still think they'll be out in the first round. Trades like this are always overhyped in the offseason because there's nothing else to talk about. Cassell and Spree are good additions, but are they enough to close the 10 game gap between the Spurs, Lakers, Kings and Mavs? I'm not sold that they are. They're definitely better, but I wouldn't consider it a given at all that they beat one of those four teams in a series.
I would feel SO much better about all of this if Horry would just go ahead and sign his name.
OK, the Spurs didnt want to part w/ Manu, Malik, or Sjax.
Understandable. My understanding is that was a major reason why the deal died.
But what I dont understand is why we couldnt have played Minn and traded say 2 picks and Scola. Then the Hawks get a player, 2 picks and cap room, instead of just cap room.
Why is it every year, every other team seems to make moves like this while we are forced to rely on our great scouting to get players noone else wants (TP, Malik, Manu, SJax) who blossom under us.
This was suppost to be the offseason that solidifies everything. Yet once again its conference rivals, the Lakers and T-Wolves, who get significantly better this offseason.
What a complete bust. From 2 yrs of Kidd and Oneal and Brand. To talk of Kandi, Rasho, Miller AND Odom, Spree, Magette. To using 16 mill for Rasho and Horry
We better start praying that TP and Sjax dont get complacent and regress.
Not sure that Minny will have homecourt advantage against SA,LA,DAL,SAC. 1st round will still be a challenge for the improved puppies.
You win the "hyperbole of the day" award.To using 16 mill for Rasho and Horry
Congrats.
