SnP is like the good guy to J. Zgoda.

Canishoopus is a pretty good blog and SnP has some inside access he is willing to share. His practice write ups have been very good. I quote him a lot.

Flynn and Sessions starting together would be fun to watch, and i'm interested to see how Sessions performs at sg. But I can't see that happening.

It's hard to tell what the starting line-up will be, there could be a lot going on behind closed doors. The line-up will be changing pretty regularly once the pre-season games start anyway.

Thanks for the hookup. Can't wait to watch some of these guys develop this season.

These 3 are locks
Jefferson
Love
Sessions (PG or SG)

And take your pick of the next 2
Flynn, Gomes, Brewer, Ellington, Pavlovic

If I was a betting man, I wouldn't bet on this one. But if I had to, I'd say Gomes starts at SF and it's between Flynn and Brewer for the last guard spot.

Sessions isn't a lock. In fact, I'm pretty sure they've already said that Flynn is starting at the Point.

I think Sessions is more of a lock than Flynn

for the OP, Flynn and Sessions will both play starter minutes, so from a fantasy perspective, it really doesn't matter whether they start or not.

Yeah, people seem to ignore that fact.

It's the off season, people check in periodically. There really wasn't anything to talk about Wolves wise until today. Seems kind of funny to me how harsh this board treats people who don't follow every piece of information every day.

That isn't what I was saying at all. I have pointed out in other threads that Kahn promised the spot to Flynn yet some people keep saying Flynn will come off the bench.

Clearly I wasn't refering to people that don't check the board alot. If someone hasn't seen or doesn't know something isn't it impossible to ignore it?

Kahn also said the ultimate decision was up to Rambis and that training camp could change things.

Last I checked, the Pres of Operations doesn't decide who starts. The head coach does. Kahn can say all he wants, but its ultimately the coach's final decision.

Is that why Bargnani started getting so many minutes? Or why Wright is starting over Peja this year?
You act as if Kahn has no authority over Rambis. Sure he can say it is Rambis' choice but it is clear who Kahn wants starting. You can go ahead and disagree with Kahn, I don't care. I was just pointing out that Kahn promised Flynn the spot. Clearly some people didn't know that.

Sorry, I didn't mean you individually. It just feels like this board expects people to keep up to date and be near-experts just to post here. It's a collective thing more than an individual thing. I'm rather thick skinned, but I'm sure plenty of people have been pushed away because of it.
