I was teasing the softspoken greenmonsterthingamajobber. :oops:

Saw them at a metal festival in either 2001 or 2002. They were probably the best live band I saw that weekend. 1000x better than the headliner Kid Rock.

This is great for Rubio and Jones.

But i feel bad for Brown.
He deserved a roster spot.

well that was kind of unexpected. I always that he'd rather go to a contender.
Guess I like it and it probably means, that Jones isn't ready enough and LaVine will play off the ball most of the time.

One thing I really appreciate is that after years of undersized SGs at backup PG, we now have 3 pure PGs on the roster.

Miller is also one of the best lob passers in recent nba history.

A decade late but a player I always wanted to see put on our uniform. Glad he's on board to help mentor.

What a fantastic signing. Flip continues to kill it. George Karl recently said Andre Miller is the smartest player he's ever coached and thinks he's one of the greatest passers ever.

I didn't think it was possible to get more excited about next season, then this came out of left field. Can't wait for the 3-5 turn back the clock games he should have this year.

Great signing. Should be effective with limited minutes and against certain matchups. Prototype NBA point guard in terms of passing and decision making. I've always been a fan of his.

OMG!!! It happened!!!!!! One of my favorite players of all time playing in a Wolves jersey??? This is unreal.

One thing I hope he teaches the young guys is how to take care of your body in an 82 game season. He was an iron man. 2 seasons too late tho

Very pleased!

Solid vet to run the second unit and the perfect guy to pass on advice to Ricky and Jones.

Feel sorry for Lorenzo Brown. Just got used to him and he was actually not that bad.

Miller should be a good addition, though.

Arrrooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Solid addition.

Not sure what this means for Tyus Jones though. He should be better-off playing in the D-League than barely seeing the floor as a 3rd PG.

Might be insurance in case Rubio gets injured again.

I like Miller, but I'd rather have Brown backing up Rubio.

Miller doesn't have a ton of years left and I think Brown is more than worth his contract. He seems like he could be a very capable backup. I wouldn't mind it if they hadn't drafted Tyus, but I think they are underrating Brown.

I honestly think this is a young-veteran mix, Jones will play 15mpg be sure. But this is more of a signing that both Ricky and Tyus get on/off court game coaching in order to improve aspects of their gameplay. Same is expected with Garnett and frontcourt young bloods.

Also what happened with Kendall Marshall signing and our boy Lorenzo?

I'm guessing Flip thinks Miller's leadership, intanglibles, and court production would out weigh anything LoBro would give us.

Love the signing. Wish/hope it didn't mean the end of Lo Bro in Minny, though.
