And, yes, you can be I will be opDOUGistic no matter what happens! :)

I've always DOUG your excitement and optimism!

Jalen Rose predicts the Celtics take Isaac... I wouldn't be surprised, either!

Let's talk about that OKC team for a minute. They had 3 all-stars and a super role player in Ibaka. They made it to 1 finals and got crushed. They traded away Harden because they couldn't afford 4 good young players **cough****cough**. Then they proceeded to be good not great for a few years because of injuries and finally threw their best punch at the Warriors and lost. Then KD leaves in free agency because they couldn't win one and they are left with Westbrook and pieces at the end of the era. Is that really a plan we want to follow? 1 title appearance before they were ready and then never eclipsing those heights again because of the business decisions that come in to play with stacking your roster with young talent. I for one am not looking forward to that business decision that will inevitably happen here if we land a 4th good young player who needs to be paid.

Nevermind. Lol

Oh good. More Khans wining about Salary. Look, if you compare M/SP to OKC as ownership groups and markets and determine the Wolves CANNOT compete, then you got to find something else. And tonight yet.

And who's asking you to "look forward to that business decision"!??!!??! I wouldn't let you shovel my driveway.

While I agree with some of this...

... OKC had some pretty lousy playoff injury luck with Durant and Westbrook in recent years. They were a damn good team.


[Note: Shitty lying cheapskate owners. And they should be in Seattle... but other than that...]

There's patience and then there's watching the world pass you by. The Wolves thought they were doing the former. They were doing the latter... til now.
