It was a few weeks ago on ESPN radio that one of the
guys said how he thinks the idea that ONLY championships is the way to show success is unfortunate because that's really not true. Of course you have examples of the Jazz or the Bills. Are. Those teams really not successful because they didn't win a title? Why I bring this up is the idea. That someone wins or loses based on who wins a title or in the Wolves case compete for one. If the Wolves end up with a pretty good team as a result of this trade that's a win and who cares what the Cavs do I am interested in what MY team does. The reality is if this trade gets the Wolves to be a legit playoff team the. Trade is actually probably a win. Why?
This team hasn't made the playoffs in 10 years. Last year was the closest we have been. I understand the hate of Love for wanting to leave but we all get why. Dwight Howard and Lebron left their teams and they had been to NBA finals. Love just finished a 40-42 losing season despite him putting up basically his best season of his career. So with that in mind if the Wolves can become a playoff team WITHOUT Love that's probably a win in a number of ways. Don't get me wrong we shouldn't settle for just being pretty good we should want to win a championship but I know a couple posters here have said how they would be pretty excited to see some winning basketball again. Hopefully we can see that soon and also make the steps towards a Championship as well.
Ur right in line with where my heads at monster. I think its pretty obvious that whichever team ends up with love will be on the winning end to some end. The Wolves and its fans cant concern themselves with that. Like it or not this team is rebuilding. Collecting young assets is a step in the right direction. Of course we all want to win a championship but you got to crawl before you can walk. If i can see a team that has.500 potential right out the gate then the playoffs are the natural next step. When that comes then we can start talking about something bigger.
