Woj: Hornets Suns Wolves 3-Way Deal

[Crown&Coke]

The trouble for Wesley, is that he is Wesley Johnson. I honestly don't know if you've seen him play at all very much in the NBA. For starters....

1) He cannot shoot the ball. His 1 year at Syracuse was an aberration.
2) He cannot dribble the ball at all. He has some of the worst handles in the NBA (including centers and power forwards)
3) He is incredibly soft.
4) He doesn't play good defense.
5) He has no drive at all.
6) He doesn't slash.
7) He stands around and does nothing a lot.
8) He has no aggression in him.

that wasn't intended as a shot at your team but they have done little of note other than get lottery picks.

You've probably seen him play 400x times more than I. I seen him play about 20-25 NBA games in his career, not a huge total I know, but Minny aint really lighting it up on ESPN and TNT. One of the games I did watch was when he went at Kobe and dropped like 25 on him, and played some stellar defense. Shot the lights out with confidence

He was the Big East player of the year, and balled in big games. Was a top 4 pick despite having a horrid year as you say at 'Cuse.

As for the rest of your remarks about his game, those are your thoughts. Mine differ

I don't think Dallas is guaranteed.

Collison
Mayo
Marion
Dirk
Kaman

Bench: Brand, West, Vince, Roddy, Crowder, Wright, James

Not a playoff lock?

That's better than last year's team. By far.

They're a favorite for me to make the playoffs, but in the West it's not a lock and they're not on the same tier as memphis/lala/okc/san an

The first round pick coming from Minny is actually a lottery projected first from Memphis.

Source?

I agree that they aren't a top 4 team in the West, but they're a lock for the bottom 4 playoff spots. There won't be 8 teams in the West with a better record than Dallas. There might be 6 or 7, but there won't be 8.

I don't think Dallas is guaranteed.

Agreed.

[Cermet]

Minny is not.

They made quite a few good off-season moves that should make the needed push for the playoffs.
And Portland for example did not do shit, so they are out of the playoff contention talk.

[fatboy11]

Agreed.

But you say Minnesota is?
