GHACAN BLACKSTAR

I was thinking that getting a nice defender like Affalo and an extra shooter in Reddick would be nice to have. I have my moments with barea and apparently Dwill is in the dogg house. How would you all like to see something like this happen. I doubt Orlando does it but its just a thought. If someone with stats has a chance to break this down please let me know.

BYE BYE WES! I'm sure many of you are now happy that Kahn has made a decision to get rid of the smile master. The Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves have agreed to a multiplayer trade sending 7-foot center Robin Lopez and forward Hakim Warrick from Phoenix to New Orleans, while moving forward Wesley Johnson and a first-round draft pick from Minnesota to Phoenix, a person familiar with the deal said. The deal also sends guard Jerome Dyson and retiring center Brad Miller's $5.1 million contract from New Orleans to Minnesota, allowing the Timberwolves to clear space under the NBA's salary cap as they pursue free agents. Minnesota also will receive two second-round draft picks from New Orleans, while the Hornets will receive cash. EDIT: Copy added; moved to front page This deal is being made to generate enough cap space to make a formal offer to Andrei Kirilenko. Expect an announcement on that soon...AK-47 will want to sign with someone before the Olympics begin.

Well we knew this was bound to happen. I wonder what other moves Kahn is going to make in order for the money to be ready for all these new contracts?

Timberwolves forward Kevin Love will play in his second consecutive All-Star Game, later this month in Orlando. Western Conference coaches picked Love as one of seven reserves for the Feb. 26 game in voting announced tonight on TNT's Thursday night pre-game show. From Jerry Z EDIT: The other reserves are: West - LaMarcus Aldridge, Russell Westbrook, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Steve Nash, and Marc Gasol East - Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Roy Hibbert, Paul Pierce, Deron Williams, Luol Deng, and Andre Iguodala

I don't know if anyone else has already posted this but it looks like we just got rid of Lazar for some second round picks and Robert Vaden who was then waived. I wonder how much more room we need to clear because we still have so many overlapping parts on this team.

Ronnie Brewer has been been dealt by Utah to the Grizzlies in exchange for a protected first round pick, according to a report from Ross Siller of the Salt Lake Tribune. Utah would move under the luxury tax under such a scenario and also free up minutes for other wing players. Don't you think this could of been a good pick up for us to at least explore?

Love and Flynn both made the Rookie Sophomore game! Congrats fellas!
