    That gives Minnesota how many point guards? Three or four? Maybe the Lakers can unload all four of their second-round picks for Flynn.

    Hope so, would be nice if Flynn can get out of that terrible organization.

    Flynn isn't worth one second round pick.

    I don't think Rubio will make an impact in the NBA. Being a Wolves fan sucks!

    Last few years I have been a NBA fan I think. Not much to get excited about. It's been about a decade since we've had anything to rant and rave about.

    To be honest, MN is currently a HORID sports state! Vinkings in flux, Twins have the worst record in MLB, Timberwolves finish season with worst record in NBA, UofMN gopher hockey sucked, MN Wild tanked, Tubby didn't make the tourny in how many years. Need I go on...

    Trading Brandon Roy was a comical thing that i laughed at on draft night several years ago. Rubio was average at best in spain..... NBA guys will eat him alive and he'll be back to europe in 3 years

    well at least when one of these teams wins something you can say you're a true fan that never left. didn't a minnesota team win the college hockey championship this year, you got that going for you. somewhat feel your pain as two of my favorite syracuse players got sent to the abysmal t'wolves. though they haven't been much help.

    Flynn sucks. He will be dealt for peanuts.

    Excited to see Rubio play. If Kahn is smart, he will draft Derrick Williams and try and make a trade for Iguodala.

    Correct UMD did win the title, but I am more of a UofMN fan. And I am a HUGE UofMN gopher Wrestling fan and they rock every year. That's really about it. It's kind of comical around here. Sports casters are turning on the home squads even.

    Frick now I got thinking... Gopher Football sucks it up too... I need a drink and it's only 8am!

    Cuse0323, Keep sending the ball players. Love Syracuse's program!

    As a Wolves fan, PLEASE DON'T.

    Just think, the Wolves backcourt right now could be Rubio-DeRozan.

    Flynn has been a complete bust. Cousins will have a better career than Wes. And had we drafted him, we don't waste money and re-sign Dorko.

    Tough for Jonny when the coach runs an offense that is completely opposite of his strengths. As for Wes, gotta wait a bit for judgment on him.

    Flynn is a complete lost cause. He's a basketball idiot. Overdribbles all the time, turns it out constantly and never finishes when he attacks the basket.

    Wes will be 24 this season. Then again, I was expecting a lot more than a 39% shooting 23 year old rookie who can't dribble.

    Kahn has botched these last 2 drafts pretty bad.

    Well we can agree on one thing, I want them both out of there as much as you do.

    You will get your wish for Flynn.

    I still have hope for Wes as he has great size, played solid defense at times last year and can shoot the 3. We both know he's a fantastic athlete, just a shame he can't dribble. He's a spot up shooter so Rubio is going to help him tremendously.

    Rubio will be a lot better than the crap point guards they have now. I think Rubio will be solid, but will not be a star. Wolves have killed themselves by not taking BPA the last 2 years reaching for Flynn and taking Wes Johnson over Cousins. The nice thing about the Wolves sucking is cheap tickets. Unless they play the Celtics, Heat, or Lakers the Target Center is a ghost town.

    MN does suck now for sports now. Only hope is the Lynx but the WNBA doesn't count really.
