Damn.

KG got a LOT of help this offseason.

 

[wyvrn]

Yeah he did. Legit center and legit shooting guard. Dayum Minnesota could be serious contenders this year.

I like the T-Wolves this year. KG finally gets his wish ... a supporting cast. The west just gets better and better!

 

[neovan]

yet the LAKERS will still win it all.

 

[iamme]

T-Wolves lineup:

Center: Olowokandi
Forwards: Garnett, Szczerbiak
Guards: Sprewell, Cassell, and Hudson

Very nice......they definitely won't have trouble scoring. They definitely beefed up their team this summer.

WOW

T-Wolves could be BETTER than the Spurs this coming season, unless the spurs REALLY shock everyone with an amazing trade.

Nesterovic WON'T be the defensive presence that Robinson was. if you look just at the starting 5 of the two teams, i think T-Wolves are at least AS good as the spurs if not better.

i dunno how well Van Horn's going to do in New York. That guy's confidence seems to shrivel up everytime the wind blows. New York fans are gonng be tough on him.

i think the knicks are just trying to shed contracts so that they can make a make a major free agent score.

"Four-Team Deal Near Completion
A four-team NBA trade has been agreed to, ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reports. The Knicks would get Keith Van Horn from Philly and ship Latrell Sprewell to the Wolves. Terrell Brandon would go to the Hawks, while Glenn Robinson would land in Philly. The deal may not be finalized until Wednesday."

That quote is from the ESPN.com front page. Deal isn't finalized yet, so maybe something will fall through. As for a comment of New York fans being tough on Van Horn, hell yes they will be. Van Horn has been shipped all over the past couple seasons, and to my knowledge, New Jersey fans didn't like him a couple years ago. Lord knows I hated him when he played for Utah in college, I think he gets way too much credit for his game.

T-Wolves will definitely be a team to look for next year, IF they stay healthy.

nope, this year, next, and a player option in 06

 

[Storm]

Wow... the T-Wolves had a real nice offseason...

 

[CubicZirconia]

Could this finally be the year we (meaning the twolves) do something in the playoffs? All of this losing in the first round crap is getting old.

 

[Kev]

YESSSS!!!! GOODBYE VAN TRASH!!!

if philly hasn't completely destroyed his confidence, nothing will. you should have heard sports radio during the playoffs. i can't recall a more hated player than him, other than maybe mitch williams.

 

[virtuamike]

TWolves look damn good, but Philly improves too. Big Dog and AI, wow.

 

[psteng19]

Spree is a nice upgrade for the wolves, although his skills are slowly declining.

wtf are the Knicks thinking by trading for Van Horn?
Less skill and he still has years left on his contract?

he has MORE years than Spree. it was a STUPID bonehead move.

 

[Ranger X]

WoodChuckCharlie, it's pretty much a done deal.

I think spree will do well with flip and kg. Looks like they are going to be a very solid regular season team this year...............

 

[First]

Twolves look great for next season. However, this will all hinge on Kandi, and whether he can stop getting doped up and concentrate on his game. Based on this history, it doesn't look good, but who knows, he may come through.

I'd say the top 5 teams next year are now Lakers, Kings, Spurs, Twolves, and Mavs. I'd include the Nets or Pistons, but lets be honest, the West teams (especially the Lakers and Twolves) having gotten significantly better, with the Kings, Mavs and Spurs to improve from within most likely.
