<t>maelstrom, Flip never offered ak the 3yr/21m deal. That was a deal that posters here talk about themselves but was never the actual offer. In fact, Flip most likely didn't offer a 3rd year. Whatever the case, ak cited flip as the reason for not staying with the wolves.<br/> <br/> Also flip tried ...

<t>Lip, observer, I think you guys are right about flip. Say what you want about the ak situation, but the way that goes down was not pretty. Remember our front office had a bad reputation around the league in the mchale/flip era. I hope history don't repeat itself again and we would do things more ...

<t>Brewers role on the team is to defend, run on the break for easy opportunities, make smart cuts, move the ball and provide spark,energy and hustle. He is not a 3 and d guy. He is a energy hustle guy.<br/> <br/> He has games and stretches where he shot the lights out but his percentages always rev...

Interesting info. like camden, i have to ask lip, what kind of isaues do you knoq of between love and pek?

Drew, I think he could be a poormans version of rondo or a rich man version of telfair. He will be one of those fun to watch player, but I'm not ready yet to say he will be a starter in the league, will have to see him against nba competition to make a proper assessment.

<t>Dieng is not ready yet in my opinion which is why I like the turiaf signing. Turiaf gives us a vet who will be ideal vet to take the rookie dieng under his wing. Both have same strengths( shot blocking, good passing skills for a big). Dieng has more tools than turiaf, being longer, more athletic ...

Nice to see you here drew. Look forward to you posting here. Schroeder has gotten some rondo comparison, looks intriguing.

<t>Q, good points. I just think jj will continue to get minutes. He is good enough to get the backup pg minutes and when he gets hot, he will play with Rubio. We are deep at the wing positions and martin,shved,brewer and bud will get majority of the minutes at the wings. Which is why I think the tra...

<t>Chandler won't make us better. In fact, if we did do the pek+ dw for chandler then that leave us with only love and Martin as scorers. The improvement in defense wont be more significant than what we lose on offense. Also, Pek may not be a rim protector but he is a pretty good positional defender...

Q, I agree with you. Shved will be the backup sg to Martin and jj will be the backup pg. shved will be be used as a pg when Rubio or jj get injured. That's something I liked about shved. Ha can play both guard spots but I don't see him beating out jj for the backup pg spot.
