Tirion · Post #3 » by **Tirion** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 2:36 am

I don't think we have to worry about losing our pick to the Clippers this year.

If I have to watch Gomes play PF I will rip my eyes out.

Looks like Chris Richard is coming back!

According to Jerry Zgoda's twitter, Kahn says the early estimate on Loves hand is 6-8 weeks.

Jonny Flynn also injured his shoulder on October 25th, 2010 and will miss the first 10 weeks of the 2010-11 season.

Sophomore curse ftw. 4 years and counting.

"I can think of worse things," Kahn told Zgoda, adding that Love will be seeing a hand specialist on Monday to determine whether surgery if required.

So how do you think this affects the Wolves trading? Normally if we are destined for a lost season, you can dump your win-now talent for win-later prospects. However, we've already traded Mike Miller, and don't have much vet talent. Ryan Gomes might fit the category, but this may also need we need Gomes to get through the season (and lose by less?)

And how do you think this affects how minutes will be distributed? Will OPech really get a lot of work? Cardinal? Would we (gasp) consider giving Blount minutes? Could you see us trying to nab another big man?

I still don't understand signing Hollins through 2010. I like Gomes a lot. I love his versatility most of all...but...he is running through 2010 , so I would listen to offers (not necessarily putting a for sale sign on his back though).

this is the reason i wanted to keep craig smith but nooooooo the gm wanted to make us weaker so he could tank the season :-?

Post #19 » by **Calinks** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 5:44 am

LOL, Craigers does actually sound good right about now.

Watch us re-sign Maddog.

Did we cut Blount yet? He may have to suit up now.

Bad luck there guys. Love was one guy I was predicting to really make some noise early on in the season with Jeff working his way back into form. Leaves you guys pretty thin up front for the time being. Hopefully he deosn't need surgery though.

Any interest in Stephen Jackson for some help then? :pray:

Didn't think so....................... :waaa:
