    Likely a career ending injury, man.

    If Rick Adelman could just field teams that were not consistently injured he woujld probably have multiple Championships including and at least one with Rockets.

    Saw the game tonight, it was often 5 white guys in white uniform vs 5 black guys in dark uniform.


    Also, if I were a FA and had a choice, I would be leery of getting injured if I sign with MIN.

    Um, no I don't think I am saying that... not sure I understand your post.

    I am just wondering aloud if consciously or unconsciously, the Wolves owner or management was more interested in white free agents over comparable players of other races. I am not saying the guys they have are bad players, they are obviously all quality NBA players (I can say that now that they got rid of Darko).

    I have no evidence to make me believe it is on purpose, I am just saying statistically it seems a little odd to end up with 75% white roster unintentionally.

    It's probably a combination of:

    1) Kahn liking European players.
    2) Kahn thinking that Rubio and Love will white guys.

    and, there's probably a bit of pandering to their fan base as well (Indiana and Utah will do this from time to time with white guys- Hansborough, Hayward)
