Well, there goes Cardinal's spot at the end of the bench.

Haven't we tried this before with John Thomas?? For some reason, it seems like every couple years he is back on the training camp roster.... I'd rather see Cardinal back for his leadership and ability to player/coach some of the younger guys as it pertains to our offense and movement on offense. He's kinda awkward, but he's always moving and almost always in a good position on the floor. John Thomas must be as old as Brett Favre... What does he really offer?? Disappointing move!
We have to do the impossible, but it is possible.

It looks like Cardinal is being courted elsewhere (Dallas via wiretap)...I guess i'd rather be a mentor on a contender as well.

John Thomas is just a big body who works hard and lives in MN (probably), just pay him some cash and have him beat up the youngins during camp.

This was the singular move Kahn was talking about to transform the wolves.

if Love could learn to intigrate everything Thomas does that doesn't show up on a stat sheet into his game. this would be THE singular move that transformed Love into a superstar and the Wolves into a legit team.
