    explain to me what the wolves were thinking...

    when they give Darko a $20M contract instead of drafting Cousins.

    and why did they draft 4 guards in the 1st round in 2009?

    Because they knew half of them would refuse to play for them. The sad part is Minnesota is a very nice part of the country... Even if its cold its a really nice/fun area.

    David Kahn is the worst GM in pro sports.

    the Darko deal, picking up everyone else trash (beasley, webster, etc)

    5 1st round draft picks, including 3 in the top 6 the past 2 years..and look who they have? BRUTAL

    Picking up Beasley wasn't a bad move...

    They got Beasley for an absolute steal, give Kahn credit for that

    Cousins is a loose cannon & nobody has ever tried helping him resolve his serious issues

    sounds like you're asking why the Shewolves didn't become Sacramento North when they had the chance?

    guess what pal, they did....

    a headcase that has checked out for the season who flopped as a top pick is a steal?

    What did they give up for him again?

    Was it a second round pick?

    So what if he's a loose cannon? He's only 20 years old and already a beast on the court. He has tremendous upside.

    It's hard to have a discussion with someone as headstrong as you.

    Beasley is decent and they gave up nothing for him. It was a good move by someone who has made a lot of bad ones.

    The Wolves have no chance of succeeding long term in the NBA with the current regime in place. Kahns plan makes sense, in theory. Stockpiling draft picks and trading for undervalued young players that dont fit in with their current teams isnt a bad strategy for a team that will NEVER land a top free agent. However, overpaying for players like Darko, and drafting nothing but stiffs will ultimately be the undoing of Kahn and maybe the Wolves franchise as a whole. The are just not a favorite of the the people in Minneapolis. The Lakers were in town this week and the entire upper level of the Target Center was empty....not a good sign. As much as I enjoy having the Wolves in town, they really are a perfect canidate for contraction if Mr Stern goes that way.
