The Wolves also traded Flynn who is a real live NBA player right now.  I don't care so much that they got a bunch of nothing 2nd rounders or a first in 2013 or a Brad Miller that won't help them.

I mean you'd rather have Brad Miller that Donatas?  A pick in 2013 over Flyn now? I mean I know Ridnour is underrated, but really.

Flynn is one of the worst players in the league. The 2013 pick is easily more valuable.
But they also traded a first rounder this year for that pick so it better be valuable.

Selby scares people... literally. Too brash. Abrasive personality. Weird activities. That's why it took so long for him to hear his name.

Interesting. What do you mean by "Weird Activities"?

Dog Fights? Bungee Jumping? Dancing through the streets in his underwear?
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

All he did was pick up money and traded a pick this year for a future first and again, that's not what they need. They need vets with talent and came away with Miller(a guy that's old and injured) and money.

To me, trading the 20th pick in a bad draft for a future #1 in a better draft is a sound proposition, regardless of what needs are.  Since the Twolves probably couldn't have met their needs this year regardless, getting a future asset is a good move.

The Twolves are no worse in the present, and have a future asset.  I don't see why that's a bad thing.  I mean, if before this draft Danny had traded the #25 pick for a future #1 and cash, people would be singing his praises.  However, since Kahn did the exact same thing, it must be an idiotic move, since Kahn is an idiot.

We should trade Avery Bradley for the Lakers 4 2nd rounders. We could have a guy named Goodluck.  That's gotta be good luck

Not really.  But there are guys who could end up being NBA players.

I hope it's David Lighty. In a few years nobody will remember the names of half of the guys drafted so far any more and Lighty will still be getting regular minutes in some good NBA team.

A Brad Miller who had microfracture surgery on his left knee in May.

I call it... the Celtics will draft Isaiah Thomas out of Washington or David Lighty.
