Gee, let me try being a whiny 4-year old too!
I had a dream.
THe Wolves didn't draft Kevin Garnett in 95, but Ed O'Bannon
The Wolves didn't get Marbury in 96, but Lorenzen Wright
The Wolves didn't draft Rasho in 98, but took the next pick Mirsad Turkcan
The Wolves weren't able to trade Marbury, a star who demanded out, for Brandon and a lottery pick
The result?
Ten years of 60 loss seasons, just like the team McHale inherited.
Thanks Kevin McHale for starting a decade of Timberwolf relevance

If The Wolves would have kept Chauncey. They wouldn't have needed Cassell. They wouldn't have traded for Marko.

When you woke up from that nightmare, the Wolves were 5 and 29.

Haha. I don't mind these types of threads as long as they don't turn into disgruntled ranting.
It's fun to do "what ifs" with the Wolves past.

I agree, and it doesnt even necessarily have to be about blame....could be just about bad luck (or good luck maybe, but in the case of the Wolves its usually bad luck).
In 1992 we got stuck with Laettner, even though we had the worst record and missed out on Shaq and Zo.
In 1993 we drafted JR Rider 5th, after Webber, Bradley, Penny, and Mashburn.
In 1994 we got Donyell Marshall 4th, after Big Dog Robinson, Kidd, and Hill.
I'm not sure how the lottery played out in 93 and 94 (i.e. did we "deserve" a higher pick or did we draft where our record indicated) but I do know that in the history of the franchise, we've never moved up in the lottery, only down.
What if the ping pong balls landed differently just once....with the exception of Bradley, all the guys listed above might have had the potential to change the entire direction of the franchise.
Man what if we were in a position to draft Kidd in 94 and still got KG
in 95!??!
Sometimes the "what ifs" are simply a good luck/bad luck thing.
