Wow! Koufos could be "cut" rather than traded?

That shocks me.

You'd think, at a minimum, they could get a TPE and a 2nd from CLE, for those die-hard Ohio State fans.

Interesting comparison to the Bucks

You can view the transcript at the link in the first post. I didn't really find much out that I didn't already know.

Q: why is Webster a hope for us, he has done nothing on his own?

A:
"Rambis scouted him four times a year plus all those years with the Lakers and he's betting Webster will blossom if he's asked to do more things than just stand in the corner and be a spot-up shooter, his primary role with a Blazers team that added Brandon Roy the year after they drafted him. He's played, what, five or six NBA seasons and he's just 23. They love his pure stroke and that he wants to defend."


-Zgoda said his editor or something believes that the Wolves could be like the Bucks of last year. I think he said the Bucks were getting ripped on before last season like the Wolves are now? I don't remember what the question was but he made the Bucks/ Wolves comparison. (** If someone remembers please add, I think I left out something on this**)

-He believes a lot of the moves were Rambis, not so much Kahn.
-Says Wes Johnson's hamstring injury is still bothering him from Summer League.
-Flynn is off crutches walking without a limp... timetable unknown, he thinks Nov-Dec.
-Thinks its possible for Love to come off the bench. :roll:

Most of the Q&A were stuff we kind of had an idea about or knew already. Some of the questions were pretty bad as well.

EDIT: Or just do what Klomp said haha

Heres what it was:

[Comment From RobertRobert: ]
Do you think Kahn has done as poor a job thus far into his tenure as the national media would have you believe?

Jerry Zgoda:
No, I think they've become biased for reasons I mentioned above. My editor is a big Bucks fan and he thinks the Wolves are this year's Bucks. Everybody nationally was picking Milwaukee 14th or 15th in the East this time last year, mostly because everyone was parroting the others. These things tend to pick up a momentum of their own and right now nationally it's "David Kahn's an idiot and the Wolves are clueless."

I am good with the media having that image. It takes the pressure off our guys to produce and gives them incentive at the same time.
