    True but I'm guessing we want a third PG on our playoff roster. If we cut Fisher and sign somebody after Lowry returns, then that third PG won't be on our playoff roster (I think).

    We traded 3 for 2 so we have a roster spot. Would make sense to sign a PG and cut Fish after Lowry returns.

    lol. Some quotes...


    http://www.rockymountainnews.com/ne...need-be-wary-minnesota-wednesday/?partner=RSS

    Anthony Carter on McHale as a coach

    "It was a learning experience," said Carter, who will see McHale and the Timberwolves on Wednesday at the Pepsi Center. "He didn't really know all the X's and O's, but he had a good assistant coaching staff that was helping him out with a lot of plays. He kind of let us run whatever we wanted.

    "He was trying to draw plays, and it was like a little Etch and Sketch. Like a kid just messing around. . . . He just gave the clipboard to the assistant coaches sometimes."

    McHale's assistants were Wittman, Sidney Lowe, Jerry Sichting and Don Zierden. Carter said they mostly ran practice.

    "Practice, it was kind of funny," Carter said. "(McHale) didn't warm us up and just let us get to playing five-on-five. He'd just sit on the sideline . . . and the other coaches would be coaching."

    Asked how the Timberwolves managed a decent record with a novice coach, Carter said, "All the guys just stuck together. We didn't want to get embarrassed."

    What's this now, might as well get a guy like Earl Boykins. The guy is short, but he can ball. Rafer / Iverson / Arenas / Conroy, any of these will do fine. Carter, maybe Vince but not this guy.

    How long does it take to pick up a player off waivers?

    Blazers own his rights.

    It seems we really want him, why not Boykins or a player who can actually play basketball and does not hate McHale??

    I would have no problem with this pick up.

    Carter is 6'2", is a good ball handler and plays tough defense.

    Would also like to pick up James Posey.
