Good looks, but why the hell are there so many pics of Araujo?

Who chooses which pictures are taken/posted? The photographers or the media arm of the Wolves organization? If the latter, we may be getting an indication of who they want to market/use this year.

10: Al Jefferson
10 Mike Miller
7: Kevin Love
5: Corey Brewer
4: Foye (I thought this would be higher)
4: McCants
3: Gomes
3: Richard
3: Araujo (3 pics for the new guy, I guess)
3: Madsen
2: Collins
2: Craig Smith
1: Carney (no second chances?)
0: Telfair (where was he?)
0: Brian Cardinal
0: Calvin Booth (buy out, and leave no trace?)
0: Blake Ahearn (Araujo got 3 pics)
0: Kevin Ollie (thanks for signing, please go hide in the closet)
0: David Harrison (I guess we're not taking a look)

1. Craig Smith is still ripped.
2. I like Chris Richard's hair.
3. Corey Brewer needs to smile.

Those were some nice pictures. The more I see of your new uniforms, the more I'm starting to like them, but I still think the old ones were better. If you're wondering why a Bulls fan is posting here, it's because the Wolves are one of a handful of teams that sit 2nd on my supporting list after Chicago, so I like to try and keep up to date with everything happening in Minnesota. I was wondering though, what's up with Michael Doleac? Are you guys going to bring him back? Does he have anything left at this point in his career?

I hope someone can answer that for me, and good luck for the season guys. There's some nice young talent on this squad.

I like the Hoffa signing because he's huge and if nothing else, its a guy that Jefferson and Love and Craig can't push around in camp. He'll make them use their skills and not rely on their size. One thing you can say about Araujo is that he's one of the strongest people in the NBA (when applicable). He's also got pretty good touch on his shot and he can board. If he could learn to be quicker on defense and control his fouls, he'd have a spot in the league.

While playing for the Jazz, they were 7 - 3 when he played 10 minutes or more a game. THATS A 70% WINNING PERCENTAGE PEOPLE GET WITH THE PROGRAM HOFFA IS GR8 WITH A CAPITAL 8

I'm certain we won't bring him back because he only played a minor role last year and his minutes will be taken by Love and Collins now. I think a playoff bound team might look to sign Doleac if they are looking for a veteran C and/or size

We pretty much knew one the season was over that Doleac wouldn't be coming back.

So, a Jefferson, Miller and Love front line - the smallest in the league?

Not at all, plus, size matters in rebounding and that is a very good rebounding front line.

Also, Miller can play the 2.

I doubt a 6'8", 6'9", and 6'10" frontline is the smallest in the league I'm guessing. How many frontlines even have 7 footers starting in them?
