they needed a black guy

[Freedom Kid7]

As much as I wanted to see him go to Chicago (he'd be the perfect match: 2 guard that can get his own shot. Only problem is his knees), I'm really stoked he'll be able to play again. I hope he can put on a clinic like this again ("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB-FGLPT-fo)

[Levity]

if he really has anything left in him, twolves may sneak into that top 8 spot this season.

[StateOfMind12]

So since there are no more white guys in the market, the Wolves are just going to get the whitest black guys now? I thought that was how things rolled in Utah, not Minnesota.

Wait....Brandon Roy is NOT black.

Ya see....I'm blind and I only hear him speak.

[Freedom Kid7]

If Rubio doesn't get injured again, which I doubt he will, Wolves will look pretty darn good. Maybe not top 4 seed good, but enough to get to the playoffs good.

[Qwyjibo]

This is actually a great fit. Also, assuming the price is dirt cheap, it's a low-risk potential solid-reward signing for the Wolves.

With Rubio on the team, Roy wouldn't be asked to create much in terms of offense. If he can stick some perimeter shots and do even a fraction of what he used to, he'll already be a better option than Wes Johnson.

Another smart move by the Wolves. (wait, really?)

[stallionaire]

We traded our 18th pick to Houston for Chase Budinger and with the 58th pick we drafted Robbie Humel from Purdue.


Wes Johnson is a huge bust but I'm sure we'll give him minutes next season to see where his shot is at. He has the right speed, lift, and legs for our system..

5 million per year sounds really high but that is going to have a ton of protection in it in case he gets hurt again. I'd be more concerned with how much of it is guaranteed. Regardless, even if Roy comes back as half the player he was 5 million a year for a 20 mpg bench player would be worth it.

[Raz]

yea. because he didn't have overseas surgery on them.

I like the signing, but knee ignorance is ripe here.
http://www.mountnittany.org/assets/images/krames/81383.jpg

Cartilage does not magically come back. Once it's worn down like in the pic, it continues to get worn down. When the cartilage wears down, it breaks off, often floating around causing more damage to the knee.

My left knee is horrible. Roy's left knee and right knee are both in worse condition than mine, and I have to ice mine after running and use compression bandages to keep the swelling down. I could still play basketball if I wanted to, but I don't get paid to play it. Trust me on this, Roy will not play in some back to backs, and you may see him start to have back issues near the end of the season, or other issues from the extra strain he'll be putting on the rest of his body.

I wish him the best of luck, I love the guy's game, and the T-Wolves are my second team. I just realize that this is an unheard of situation. It would have been like Mashburn attempting a comeback - read this (sorry the link has expired to the Times Picayne article - just the text without link):



Final buzzer set to go off for Mashburn
Saturday, September 25, 2004
John DeShazier

The Jamal Mashburn-New Orleans Hornets saga is coming to an end, as Mashburn's troublesome right knee pushes him further out of the Hornets' plans and possibly into retirement.
That's a double blow to the Hornets because the franchise can't realistically hope to trade him for young talent and won't have his offense to count on every night, a problem for a team that struggled to score last season.

Barring an exam that shows major improvement, Mashburn likely will be placed on the injured list next week, the precursor to sitting out the season and maybe the first step to his departure from the NBA.
Obviously, if Mashburn couldn't walk around Disney World without experiencing pain and swelling this summer, it's unlikely he can run and jump well enough to be a productive NBA player this winter and spring.

Mashburn says he has no cartilage in his knee, and there's no remedy for bone-on-bone, other than tolerating the pain. Anyone who has walked on such legs -- or knows someone who has -- wouldn't recommend it.

Good riddance, you say? Maybe. Depending on whom you ask, Mashburn is independent or standoffish, selfish or a go-to player. He isn't going to be the life of anyone's party; teammates he truly considers friends were few and far between.
But isolation, at best a misdemeanor, became a felony when applied to Mashburn. Last season, when he rehabbed in Miami away from the team, teammates complained and steamed behind his back.
The act that cast a shadow over the playoffs, and stained Mashburn's four-year playing career with the Hornets, came in Miami. Mashburn, who was not on the postseason roster but traveled with the team, was banished for detrimental conduct. His allegation, that the organization had misdiagnosed his injuries, was more than the team was willing to stomach.
Still, new head coach Byron Scott and new general manager Allan Bristow offered an olive branch upon their appointments: Mashburn was welcome to return, the slate would be wiped clean; he'd be given every opportunity to fit into Scott's uptempo attack and would be a valuable commodity in the half-court set.

After all, love him or hate him, 21 points a night, which is what Mashburn averaged with the Hornets, is 21 points a night. Most NBA players don't score that much in two or three games, let alone average it.
Those 21 points will have to be replaced.
He won't be around to kick or blame this season, and possibly never again.

The problem for the Hornets is that Mashburn's salary -- he is owed almost $20 million over the next two seasons, not including an option for a third year -- counts against the salary cap. If Mashburn cannot play, the Hornets have an insurance policy that will absorb most of the financial blow, but the team won't have that cap space to spend on other players unless majority owner George Shinn decides to exceed the cap and pay the NBA's stiff luxury tax in the process.
Mashburn, an All-Star forward, is scheduled to have another MRI exam next week. But unless the knee is substantially better, which seems unlikely, he will land on the injured list. He could stay there all year, he could return, he could be traded, he could retire. Who knows? No one will close the door. Each side will talk about the importance of Mashburn healing and continue to raise the possibility of a comeback with the Hornets.
But the fact is, both sides know such a resurrection is unlikely.

[Raz]

He can still be solid, im expecting about 11/4/4 from him

Good expectations. I'd probably put him at 12/3/3 - I don't see him wanting to mix it up in traffic for rebounds. He should make a nice pick and roll option with Pek or pick and pop with Love.

[Raz]

Derrick Williams tweeted that he's giving him #7, classy move.

Williams should spend more time getting in shape and refining his body and learning to be more Shawn Kemp and less Dan Majerle.

Interesting that you mention the Lakers....

"The new team began play in Minneapolis, Minnesota, calling themselves the Lakers in honor of the state's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes".[3] The Lakers won five championships in Minneapolis, propelled by center George Mikan, who is described by the NBA's official website as the league's "first superstar".[4] After struggling financially in the late 1950s following Mikan's retirement, they relocated to Los Angeles before the 1960–61 season."

[04mzwach]

Batum says screw Portland, I want to go to Minnesota! Hell yeah. Players are finally giving our team a chance. :bowdown:

[04mzwach]

Hollinger -



Roy's knees are shot. In his last season in Portland, he was dreadful in the final 30 games after he returned, save for one miraculous quarter against Dallas. He is not a 3-point shooter and can't get to the basket anymore, and he is a ball-stopper who I'm not sure would be a great fit in this system even if he were healthy.


Coincidentally, one of the teams that may have an interest in Milicic is Portland, should Indiana match the max offer sheet to Roy Hibbert (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3436/roy-hibbert). But amnesty bidding for Milicic may not get far because he has $3.8 million of non-guaranteed money next season that teams would be required to include in their bids -- a technicality that helped spring Baron Davis (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/194/baron-davis) through auction a year ago.
