    This is probably the single best news we have had since....... well, as long as I've been a Timberwolves fan.

    Probably the best thing to happen to Minny since forever ago.

    Haha I wonder how many minutes Rubio is gonna get and if he'll have to earn his PT in practice.

    Interesting you say this, especially when Minnesota has more talent than last year's Rockets team.

    Is Kahn anymore trustworthy than Morey?

    No, Adelman clearly wasn't ready to pass up $25,000,000.

    Best of luck to him. The Wolves are already that much better off now with Aldeman on board.

    Rick deserves better, but perhaps he thinks Little Ricky is going to be special. And perhaps he believes that because of private conversations with Morey.

    Actually, you're second. I said Minnesota will get at least the 8th seed a month ago when the rumors first came to light. Minnesota has way more plus talent than us, we just had a better coach and system.

    Adelman> McHale
    Love > Scola
    D. Milicic> the only center on our roster H. Thabeet
    Derrick Williams > prospect than Patterson
    Wes Johnson > Terrence Williams
    Anthony Randolph > Jordan Hill
    Morey would have traded Lowry for Rubio in a heartbeat... we shall see.
    N. Pekovic > D. Motiejunas

    Our advantages:
    Kevin Martin > scorer than M. Beasly
    Chase Budinger > M. Webster
    Courtney Lee> W. Ellington
    C. Hayes > A. Tolliver
    G. Dragic > L. Ridnour

    You forgot one thing though.

    We weren't a playoff team last year. Despite having Adelman as a coach.

    I honestly don't see how they can be a playoff team next year even if everything falls into place. If you or GlenRice feel that strongly about the team, perhaps a tip jar bet?

    My impression with this hire is (at $25 million guaranteed) Adelman immediately becomes the big dog in Minny and Kahn goes down a notch. They will not get along and Kahn will be gone, next summer at the latest.

    When you add this article stating they have a negative history, that clinches it. T-Wolves fans, rejoice! You will be rid of Kahn soon. Long live Adelman, the Kahn-slayer.
