There's been growth. Pekovic is now a good backup center, at the beginning of the year he was a liability. Love did improve, who cares if the wins don't show it, the guy average 20/15 and got the Wolves some GOOD publicity that we haven't had in years. Beasley showed some improvements, he started off amazing...got a bunch of ankle injuries and then reverted back to just being okay, but he has been smarter over the last few months with his passes, and has shown more of a commitment to defense. Rambis needs to go for sure, but we have the pieces here guys. Blowing it up AGAIN will just send us further and further back. Let's go ahead, get a new coach that preaches defense and go forward with this...

Rubio-Ridnour (whatever we get for Flynn)
?????????possibly Wes, I have hope for him if he can get some handles he'll be really really good, plus Rubio should give him some easier looks.
Beasley-Webster
Love-Randolph
??????-Pekovic- can score down low and improved his defense a lot so far.

I'm done with Rambis, and Darko. they can go together, We need a starting SG and starting Center. Bogut/Oden for the center IMO. Bogut for Wes/Darko/our 1st, then try to find our sg with the Memphis pick(Burks please, or Klay Thompson). Or sign Oden to an offer sheet, and worse thing is that Portland matches and gets stuck with Oden longterm at a nice chunk of change, or we offer flynn+darko.

I remember a few years ago I got into a friendly argument with someone about the Wolves. He argued that the Wolves were ******* horrible. That was pretty much his argument, but I knew better. I informed that we have Mike Miller, Al Jefferson, and Kevin Love. Checkmate!

in professional sports its about winning and were not doing that. buttum line. growth is what you look for but at the end of the day it has to lead to wins, we can talk about this and that but it hasnt been good in the left colum of the record

56 wins in three years during a rebuilding phase shouldn't be given too much weight. I would imagine OKC went through a similar phase only they were lucky enough to get the #2 pick and have Durant fall to them.

To be fair,the Sonic/Thunder only won 20 games the first year they were lead by Durant and Green. The next year, they only improved by 3 games. If we think of Love and Beasley as the core guys we're trying to build a team around, I guess we're not that far off from the progress made by the Thunder...

I went to this game. It was my first and only game this season. They played like I expected them to play. They didn't show up and they didn't care. Pretty much sums up the season.
