one aspect of the trade that I really like: Miller and Love both really GENUINELY want to be here. Love because of McHale and Miler because it was the team he rooted for as a kid.

yeah, you can't understimate the effect of chemistry on this team. By not getting Mayo, we show that we still believe in Foye as a leader and go-to-guy and also in Jefferson for that matter. I am willing to bet right now that Mayo will leave Memphis a lot sooner than Love will leave the wolves (if ever). A Jefferson/Love combo is a tougher, more skilled version of Boozer/Okur. Mike Miller not only wants to be here, but he has the type of skill set that will stay effective years after his so-called prime is over.

If we can work on upgrading over Jason Collins (7'0 defensive specialist) we will be set.

I'm very curious to see how good of a shooter Kevin Love can be. I wonder if he can be as good a shooter as Okur is.

He can have long hair, that's cool. But that Troy Hudson-eque crap he was wearing has got to go.

its funny he's like a european playboy now, but when he came into the league he was thugalicious with his fade and diamond stud earrings

I hope he brings back the fabric headband. I need me one of those. Him and Herrmann are leading the league in sexy frolicking locks.

Pretty much stat quo stuff. I just like that he wants to be here and isn't naive about the reality here. He knows this will be a process.

no, he's from South Dakota. Most South Dakota fans are either fans of Minnesota sports teams or Denver

yep...I relate. I'm a North Dakotan and pretty much everybody from where I am from (Fargo) are Minnesota sports fans.
