T'wolves whitest team since the 80s?

[MK2V1GP]

Timberwolves draft Robbie Hummel out of Purdue. It appears they're trying to become an all-white team.

Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, JJ Barea, Luke Ridnour, Chase Budinger, Nikola Pekovic, Darko Milicic, Brad Miller and now Hummel.

That's NINE white guys on their roster right now.

[bagelred]

Brad Miller is retired.

he's white

[MK2V1GP]

I know that Miller was planning on it, but I don't think he's announced it yet and he's still on the roster.

Even so, a thousand pardons for putting ONE player on there who doesn't belong.

So it's eight white players. BIG difference. :lol

always kinda wondered about that....did the jazz owner/gm go after white players because he thought that they'd be more likable or accepted or whatever in utah? or did black guys just not want to live in utah and avoided playing for them? you could ask the same questions about the wolves i guess

[Lakers Legend#32]

For most of their history, the Celtics have been whiter than white.

[Pushxx]

For most of their history, the Celtics have been whiter than white.

Ironically, they have been supremely black since the loss of the GOAT (Scalabrine). Stiemsma and Krstic don't count because they have too many consonants in a row in their names.

[tomtucker]

Rubio isn't white he's god Arab blood in him like a lot of Spaniards

then what is he waiting for...?...blow up goddammit

[tomtucker]

Just wish Tyler H. gets traded from the pacers, to a team with mostly black dudes.......tyler is black as tar on the inside.........don

[TimmyDuncan]

Spurs had their all white team last year and I'm pretty sure pop played the 5 together

Chris Quinn
Manu Ginobili
Steve Novak
Matt Bonner
Tiago Splitter

Pretty much since we have started defining "race", Turkish people have been grouped as part of the "white race". And just as a case in point since I'm sure your ignorant ass doesn't know this: Caucasia was a part of Turkey for a long ass time.



Of course, we know now this "race" thing is a pure illusion imagined by xenophobes, but who can actually expect you to NOT be behind the times and still believe in ancient pseudoscience?

lol I see you have been brainwashed by the liberals. I bet you also are 100% certain we all came from Africa.

[JellyBean]

We are not the whitest team since the 80s. I think coach Adelman is trying to turn us into the Celtics of the 80s. Hopefully with some positive effects..like a playoff appearance or several.

No, we all came from Adam and Eve dipshit. That's elementary.

In Europe the reference people has concerning turkish people is that they are middle-eastern like or whatever..

In my country I have never heard people refer to turks as white, not one time. First time I ever heard somebody say turks are caucasian/white was on this board.

white and turkish aren't mutually exclusive though.

None of the above. It had to do with putting a competitive/relevant team on the floor. Nothing to do with skin color, pure coincidence. Utah now has Harris/Burks/Demarre Carrol/Josh Howard/Mo Williams/Al Jefferson/Paul Millsap/Derrick Favors/Jeremy Evans

Hayward is the only white player, Kanter is debatable and Watson is Mexican.

[JtotheIzzo]

looks like they may be getting ever whiter!!!!!

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8113368/report-minnesota-timberwolves-made-run-want-pau-gasol


The Minnesota Timberwolves are trying hard to land Pau Gasol.

...

If the Wolves buy out Martell Webster and decline to tender qualifying offers to Michael Beasley and Anthony Randolph, as expected, they should have plenty of cap room for Gasol.


Can we get a brother in here?
