Definitely like how the trade of Josh Smith worked out.  Got a terrific rebounder and scorer in Millsap, and a vet defender in Bell.

I think Right now, my starting 5 would be incredibly tough to defend.  Deron and Salmons can create their own shots and create for others.  Rashard Spreads the floor, and both my Bigs are active and can finish around the rim. 


The Memphis Grizzlies are only concerned by Deron.

Definitely an improvement over the real Twolves.  I think you made the classic mistake that we see in a lot of these drafts, though, and maneuvered a little too much.  Your team was set up very well once you acquired Deron and Pierce, and I think your team ended up a bit short of what it could have achieved.

Still, a job well done, and you "win" the prizes for most active manager (tied with Lucky), and most improved squad.

I know, well to be honest, I think things got derailed when DC picked Bosh.  I had worked my way to have a Bosh and Noah frontcourt and then things didnt work out, and I had to go plan B which was pierce because he was best available.  And then I got concerned about Prince and Pierce on the same starting 5 and thats when it went downhill

I'd love to see the three T'Wolves teams side-by-side.

PG - Jameer Nelson to Deron Williams to Deron Williams
SG - Tayshaun Prince to Arron Afflalo? to John Salmons
SF - Paul Pierce to Paul Pierce to Rashard Lewis
PF - Rashard Lewis to Josh Smith to Paul Millsap
C - Joakim Noah to Nick Collison to JJ Hickson

Is that right?

What I was saying is that the only tough cover for us is Deron, we feel comfortable going one-on-one with every other player you have.

I think passing up on Brendan Haywood for Shaquille O'Neal was a big decision for Minnesota.

I thought complicated things a great deal for your roster. Trying to find that interior presence defensively.

.....................................

My two favourite teams where the first one + the one with R.Artest starting alongside R.Lewis.

JJ Hickson is a tough cover for Marc Gasol. Too quick.

Agreed, although I still didn't like the Rashard pick.  At that point, Minnesota gave itself three SFs, which I think was the beginning of the end.  As I recall, Minnesota did okay in the Prince deal, but the biggest single thing that held Minnesota back was picking Rashard over a better player.
