Kahn strikes again: Wolves Acquire Tucker (Pg. 4)

[moss_is_1]

I live 4 hours north of the TC. no re-freezing here.

[Devilzsidewalk]

I don't know if that's better though, it's kind of like me complaining about my wife being a bitch then you adding in enthusiastically "well hell, my wife was brutally beaten to death over 10 years ago, I don't have any of those kind of problems!"

[Biff Cooper]

Wow. I don't feel right for laughing at that one.

[Devilzsidewalk]

you don't have to laugh, just nod knowingly

[moss_is_1]

lmao good point Devilz. would you rather be cold all the time or have it being cold and then nice enough to thaw your balls and then have them nice and wet and sweaty just to freeze again?

the trick is to line all your underwear with Brawny papertowels, or if you're a rich man you can get some of those expensive moisture wicking boxers that the movie stars are always talking about. Or if you want movie star comfort on a John Everyman budget you can shred a few sheets of Brawny and mix it with down feathers.

I don't like long transits to work. If I lived up north I'd have to be a trapper/fur trader or something

Thanks Devils, I knew there was a trick to it. Next shrimp run I'll try the Brawnny & Goosefeathers.

i never thought i would say this being a khan hater but this was a great trade

[Vega06]

There was nothing "great" about it. It was a solid trade where we traded no one and received no one + a late 2nd round pick.

[Devilzsidewalk]

I like it because he's still somewhat young, he's proven as among the best at 2 upper levels in college and D-League, and in his spare minutes in the NBA, he wasn't a total nightmare.

Every once in awhile there's a guy with decent talent who goes unnoticed for awhile, then looks good when he gets consistent minutes. Maybe this is one of those times, who knows. Its a no risk trade for us.

[revprodeji]

Man, I am let down. I want outside shooting dammit! KHAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!

Looking at Brown's outside shooting throughout his career, the 40% he's shooting from there now is likely a fluke (or a product of Chris Paul). Tucker had a similar stretch as a rookie, in about as many games, the big difference being that it came in the D-League rather than the NBA.

I don't know what they put in the water down in 'Querque, but it obviously agreed with Alando.

I don't know if there's a player in the league that can play 7 minutes a game and maintain a good three point percentage. At that rate every time you come in the game you're ice cold after sitting on a bench for 30-45 minutes.

Exactly, his small sample size makes it hard to know what he can do at the pro level.

MnWI, what did he look like in the d-league? How is his mid-range jumper? It seems like Wilkins gets a large amount of mid range attempts and botches them. Not saying Tucker is the answer, but he might be able to contribute.

Tucker does have experience in a read-react motion based offense. The "swing" in wisconsin is an unselfish system like the triangle. He could be a better fit then the suns system. He is a good teammate. Cannot be worse then Sasha.

DX says his best case was Hassell. That is scary.

Regarding the failed trade with NO-

Why don't we see more trades using the 125% rule to save a little money? Something like:

MN-NO
Pecherov, Pavlovic, and Jawai for
Armstrong, Brown, Diogu, Marks, and a 2nd
then MN buys out Brown
this saves NO a couple million.

I like GMs who are as creative as possible, so I like Kahn. I would like to see him build up a better front office though, a dedicated foreign scout, a dedicated collegiate scout, a dedicated NBA scout(each overseeing a team of scouts), an advanced stats man, a cap wizard, and sports psychologist. How many of these do we have already?

[Miklo]

Suns fan here - anyone know what the plan is with Alando? Looks like he hasn't played yet...is he on the active roster? I'm hoping he gets a chance in Minny, very good guy and plays with heart but we just never EVER gave him enough minutes to even get warm, let alone prove himself.

Hope he works out for you guys, even as just a hustle guy/role player.

[GopherIt!]

rumor has it we are trading him to a D-League team for a bag of basketballs.
