    I hope they described how they serve breakfast for players now. That is a big step forward.

    MAyeb they did it to try to woo big name free agents? Who cares about weather, or playing on a bad team in a stacked conference, Minnesota gives you breakfast, and that's something South Beach can't offer.

    So the value of the 2012 first round pick that they owe the Clippers rises... :grin:

    Very refreshing, people like to be dealt with in an honest manner.

    Hey Drayton, you listening?

    I think if I were a Wolves fan, I might appreciate the blunt honesty.

    Until he explains the Darko signing the truth is still out there.

    I like the ad, he is only saying what everyone already knows. Or do you want to be told we are contenders every year like the Astros?

    On the other hand, the ad doesn't tell how Kahn can suck so much as a GM. Now, THAT would be something I would want to know as a fan.

    I'm honestly surprised Khan even has a plan, regardless of whether or not he made this up on the spot just to have SOMETHING.

    Oh well, looks like a decade of depression for TWolves fans(are there any?).

    Rubio can single-handedly turn that team around. There's some decent pieces there already: Flynn, Beasley, Love, Wes Johnson, Webster.

    So far, Rubio has shown no interest in playing in Minny, and quite frankly I just don't believe any reports coming out of there that suggest otherwise.

    Guess, we'll just see what happens down the line, but I'd put my money on him playing elsewhere. Not to mention, he didn't seem all that special in the recent FIBA tourney, to be honest.

    Its goiing to take a 10 mil a year deal to get Rubio out of Europe.

    They only way that can happen is when his salary restrictions expire.

    Correct me if im wrong but I am pretty sure his euro contract Expires the same year he no longer has Nba salary restrictions.

    I honestly think that was the plan along but Kahn could not say it publicly.
