    I guess that sounds bad to you or others but I'm willing to bet that Towns and Okafor would prefer to play with Kobe than to play for the Timberwolves. (Regardless of the benefits that come with playing with Minnys young talent).

    The Stern Era you absolutely knew what was going to happen. Best match ups in the playoffs for and lotto pick shenanigans. Adam Silver seems to just let stuff happen. Cannot wait to read Stern's book on how he influenced the game since '83.

    If Towns gets to Minny instead of Okafor LA will pick Russel. Then Philly will get screwed.
    Only Minny though has Okafor at no.1 ..still.

    It's funny but a lot of the talk on sports talk radio in Mn today was how the NBA is rigged and the Knicks and lakers were going to get the first pick.

    Lol man, I'm guessing Okafor is thinking he'd be willing to go #2 and let Towns go #1.

    Timberwolves have all the talent but the management sucks so they won't capitalize. At least I hope they won't capitalize because the west does not need another strong up and coming team.

    Darn, Lakers will get a C to pair with Randle. Either one of the C's look like a historically great prospect?

    Dieng is pretty old (26 next year?) and Shabazz and Lavine are onesided limited players. They look better on paper than they will be. They have TONS of player development to do. Don't think that will be okc vs2.

    Let the workout tanking begin.

    Neither Okafor nor Towns want to end up in Minnesota. Loser franchise.

    Remember when the highlight of our year was finding out how high our pick would be?

    I've never been happier not to give a **** about the lottery draw.

    Does that mean Love to LA is off the table? Why invest max $$ in him with Randle and one of those C's.
