Who needs to make trades when... 

Post#1 » by Pumaman » Wed Feb 3, 2010 6:56 am

Per Mike Max of WCCO:

"The Minnesota Timberwolves talked to Rashad McCants, a free agent without a job, but nothing has moved on it."

Con - Ellington plays less

Was it about the recent vacancy for the custodial position?

After seeing Pavlloic for 40+ games. I would Welcome Rashad. 1 good game out of 5 >1 good game out of 20.

Yep, those were them, you got 'em all.

Seriously though, I was pretty excited about getting him originally, and I held out hope for a long time (partially through last year). He is a talented scorer, and could even play defense when he really wanted to, unfortunately that wasn't very often.

Maybe not being able to make an NBA roster has given him an ego check, I think his biggest downfall is that he thinks he is god's gift to basketball and should be mentioned in the same sentence with Kobe, Lebron, etc. I would be willing to give him Sasha's minutes, but I don't think he's worth impeding Ellington's development.

I would rather put up with Sasha for the rest of the season than have Rashad back. Don't do it Kahn!

if it means we won't see the comedy relief by the name of Sasha Pavlovic again I wouldn't mind Rashad back. at least he can in fact hit a three once in a while.

having said this, I'm 99% sure they won't sign Rashad.

No. I don't want Rashad back. I don't want Foye back. I don't want Miller back. It's like some people are pining for last year. Forget that. NEW era. Time to move on. Go root for Boston if you're still in love with Garnett.

My over-sized Rashad McCants jersey would lose a bit of its comedic value if he is actually on the team.

No need for Rashad unless we have an injury or trade.

Ellington deserves more time and I think right now we divide up all minutes at the 2 and 3 between Brewer, Ellington, Wilkins, and Gomes. No need for Sasha and definitely no need for Rashad.

Having Sasha on the squad is worse than an injury its like have a life altering disability.

I feel bad for Sasha because he seems like a decent enough fellow, but 33% from the field is just a train wreck, he needs to figure out his jumper or his confidence before he steps onto the court again because it's not just a slump.

I want McCants back... he's talented and like it was mentioned maybe his ego came into check... if not then you could boot him.
