You could've had Stephen Curry!

Don't listen to these other posters. We really did it just to piss you off.

Ask David Kahn not us....if you look in the draft thread everybody was straight up confused when we took Flynn NOT FLINN. I see our plan now though. We are gradually building up our Wolves dynasty. Notice how all our Young Pups are 18-24???? So far we have our starting and backup PF's and our starting and backup PGs. We will keep these four and the rest of our team is expendable. Next season we use our picks on a different position. And in only 3 years we will have our team assembled!!!!!! Ya, that's right, the oldest player on our team will be Al at a ripe old age of 26. The rest of our team will be younger and we will have beast starters and backups at every position. Dynasty. Book it dennis00.

Oh, I forgot to add....TERRORWOLVES ASSEEEEMMMMBBLLLLLEEEE!!!!

I just think Minnesota should concentrate on improving instead of pissing people off.

That's just your opinion. We can agree to disagree.

uh, because he's a better player and he was higher on their board than curry. they picked assets which gives them leverage to do what they want, which means they will probably end up trading one of the two if they feel that back court can't coexist.

I see. I don't see why Stephen Curry wouldn't be better trade bait.

I wish Timberwolves the best. I hope your youngsters develop and you'll end up with some good bargains.

Did you seriously buy that bogus team plan I proposed dennis?? I was just joshin' ya. Seriously though, I still debate in my head whether or not we should've taken Curry. I wanted a swap with NY for DeRozan + filler so we didn't keep 2 PGs. Like it or not Curry is a PG as well. He can shoot and would fit the transition game better with Rubio but I'm ok with Flynn too. He gets the edge over Curry cuz' of his smile. It's to die for if you didn't know.

I think we should have took Curry.

We should have taken Ty Lawson at #6 and traded him to Denver still. We could have probably gotten more. ;-)

No offense, the way Kahn is building...Minny will ALWAYS be a rebuilding team highly depending on the yearly draft. When will it be the time to do something....

I think the wolves are trying to do as Kahn said a backcourt of rubio and flynn with flynn at pg and rubio at sg since he is like 6 ft 3/4. Flynn would do all the scoring and rubio will do all the passing. As for not taking stephan curry, even though he is a better scorer than flynn he is not as good defensively or as athletic.

Talent, athleticism and most importantly leadership.

My thinking is that i'm happy to have Flynn he is going to good from day one providing a massive improvement at PG over Telfair.

I think trading Foye and Miller for Rubio will pay off in due time and quite frankly i'd rather have him stay in Spain and develop before either trading him or bringing him over. In time he could very easily net the Wolves a star via trade.

He along with the expiring contracts they have could very well be the most attractive package at next years trade deadline or he could be used to get their guy in next years draft. Not bringing him over isn't a bad thing even if they keep him they'd be better served having him from age 20-24 then 18-22.

The reason he was available to them was because at age 18 he is still more prospect then player. A year from now in a deeper draft he'd have gone higher because teams wouldn't be afraid that it would take two years to turn him into a quality starter.

The time to trade him is a long way off.
