    Love was there before all of that, Morey wanted to keep parsons & get a 3rd star... If we would've kept parsons in that contract love was ours. doc went over this plenty of times about being GREEDY

    All I know is, I'm burned out reading about all of these trades with no real substance behind them.

    The speculation has gotten boring.

    That wasnt getting Love Especially when Parsons and Lin contracts where up the Next year and Minn had no way of assuring they would resign they following year.

    Added with you had to make sure Love would resign the next year also, and I doubt Morey trades all that if Love doesnt do what he did with cleveland and assured them he would resign

    Getting Wiggins alone is worth way more than that. Lin and the Rockets first cancel each other out - Jones is a nice player but not a special player and the NO pick is nowhere near as good as Wiggins. And they got more than just Wiggins. In a couple of years there is a very good possiblity, that people consider the TWolves the clear winners of this trade.

    Since you are mentally deficient and too stupid to do it yourself here it is.

    cyberex:

    As far as Rondo... The concern is Rondo won't fit with Dwight and Harden, personally wise.


    Rondo just isn't nice, bottom line.

    Hmmm. Sounds like Morey agrees with many that Rondo is a locker room cancer and doesn't want hurt the chemistry he has with Harden and Howard. Of course it won't stop some from telling us how we are going after him anyway and coming up with the means to do so.

    In a couple of years Cleavesburg might just have a couple of rings. Two teams with two different goals.

    Just curious - - whose return was better, The Nugs' for Melo or The Minny Flip Smugs' for Love?

    You're calling me stupid?

    Dude that statement says nothing about Morey not wanting Rondo. I'm sorry if you're offended but I've seen you post about Morey not wanting Rondo multiple times when there hasn't been any truth to it. Crediting that opinion to cyberx is a false attempt at justifying incorrect comprehension.

    A concern does not mean an absolute.

    A patient who is concerned with the after effects of a medicine is still going to consider taking it if it heals their ailment.

    To break it down for you. Rondo is to medicine as morey'a concerns are to patient's concerns. Hope you understand analogies.

    lol


    Cyberex a CONFIRMED insider has posted this after meeting with a team official. It is exactly as I posted so I AM RIGHT and not you. Morey has a concern that Rondo is a locker room cancer as he should be. He has his two superstars and doesn't want to upset that. You are the one that is calling names and I called you out as I should have. I will continue to be the voice of reason and post correctly that Morey is not interested in Rondo. You can continue to post against what a confirmed insider has said. That only makes you...stupid to do so.

    Dear lord you couldn't even comprehend my post correctly.

    Never said cyberx wasn't an insider.

    I said you're not understanding his information correctly..

    Like I said a concern does not apply to an absolute decision. Your understanding of cyberx's intel is WRONG. Morey's worry about Rondo's personality does not mean he doesn't see him as an upgrade.

    But yeah, I'm done with you.

    traveler,

    I beg to differ with you, sir.

    You AND Cybrerx are wrong in this matter.

    There is no way that would have happened. Minnesota would have waited for a better offer, and then made the Cleveland trade.

    Still don't think Rondo is the best fit, especially with mchale, but he will hold harden accountable for not playing D and is smart enough to ignore mchales play calling to run his own offense. Get err done Morey

    rondo would be a huge asset, floor general, leader, and he has a better clutch gene than our entire team....this would be a God send
