  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bucks are done with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21700/stephen-jackson&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Stephen Jackson&lt;/a&gt;, and we need a starting 2 guard... Obviously he isn't the long term answer, BUT, if we think we can make a push for a playoff berth, hows aboot this &quot;minor&quot; deal.    Minnesota gives: B-Easy Luke Ridnour &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/35086/anthony-randolph&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Anthony Randolph&lt;/a&gt;  FOR    Milwaukee Gives: Stephen Jackson Carlos Delfino Irsan Ilyasova   We have zero need on our squad for AR.  AND B-easy is a black hole.  We get a starting two and out side shooting, which we love. just an idea while playing 2k12.  what do you think?&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21546/vince-carter&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Vince Carter&lt;/a&gt;? &amp;nbsp;He's on the block, he has one year left on his deal. &amp;nbsp;Flynn will be back soon, we can trade Ridnour in a week or two. &amp;nbsp;What if we give up, say, Ridnour, Pek, Brewer for Vince Carter? He's old enough now to mentor our young guns, he would work well with K Loves outlets, and we need a go to shooting guard. &amp;nbsp;Orlando needs a serviceable back up point. &amp;nbsp;I say we take a gamble on a crafty vet to teach our youngsters how to dazzle and make way for Rubio Nation. &amp;nbsp;Obviously Ricky would want to play with a face he knows, and who doesn't know Air Canada, Vicanity? &amp;nbsp;Let do it.. &amp;nbsp;Duh, proves my theory, that'll do it, and god bless&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&quot;From jail to judge in 15 years&quot;.. I use this statement as an analogy for us wolves fans. However, it wont take us 15 years.. &amp;nbsp;I will take a sip of that optimism juice. &amp;nbsp;Last year we had 15 wins, 15 wins. &amp;nbsp;Kahn told us this would be a 5 year process. &amp;nbsp;We put the fate of our team in his hands. &amp;nbsp;We were excited to see McHale take a boot in the bumkins. &amp;nbsp;But less than a year later, we all hate Kahn. &amp;nbsp;Because we weren't better than the year before with K McLovin. &amp;nbsp;Every web site on this interweb thing makes fun of him. &amp;nbsp;They yell out &quot;Kaaaahhn!&quot; but is this deservingly so? &amp;nbsp;NO! as a matter of a fact, I'll give that a HELL NO! &amp;nbsp;The fans want more wins, what has he gotten us with his roster moves this offseason? MORE WINS! &amp;nbsp;This Beasley deal rekindles my faith in PeeWeeKahn (he reminds me of an older Pee Wee Herman) &amp;nbsp;As of this upcoming season, we have NOTHING to lose. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We have not one, but two starting caliber players at every position on our roster. And at power forward we have 4! &amp;nbsp;And next year (which is only year 2 of a 5 year plan) We will be given a VERY good look at players with so much potential. &amp;nbsp;We'll know who to cut, who to deal and when to deal, who to store on our bench, and who to cash in on.. &amp;nbsp;What if Pek becomes the next Pau, what if Webster becomes the next &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/4344/Ray_Allen&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Ray Allen&lt;/a&gt;, what if Rubio becomes the next &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/ORL&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Magic&lt;/a&gt; Johnson? and what if... just what if... big al sticks around, gets angry, gets physical and becomes the next &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21776/Tim_Duncan&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Tim Duncan&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;And what if &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/35060/Michael_Beasley&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Michael Beasley&lt;/a&gt; likes it here and resigns with us and becomes a new kind of sf/pf freak? &amp;nbsp;Seems to me the team is coming along quite well.. &quot;we're comin we're comin we're comin&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Not to say that I am a 100% David Kahn supporter. &amp;nbsp;But I feel as if he is giving us a &quot;window of opportunity&quot; however, at the same time, I feel he's making it a small window.. Much like the &quot;Baby &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/CHI&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Bulls&lt;/a&gt;&quot; of the early 00's, or the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/MEM&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Memphis Grizzlies&lt;/a&gt; with Pau, or the Blazers of just a few years ago. &amp;nbsp;These windows close so quickly by a GM signing the good players for great players salaries. IE.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21740/Brian_Cardinal&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Brian Cardinal&lt;/a&gt; in Memphis. &amp;nbsp;Why I say I'm not behind him as much as I would like is because of this. &amp;nbsp;He signed Darko for 4 years, &amp;nbsp;the 5 mil doesnt bother me.. if it was for one of two years, four years kills me, he traded Luke Babbit, who I personally was praying would fall to us.. oh well, and also, he wants to deal our very best player. &amp;nbsp;I get it, big al might not be what he was, but i feel we need to wait and see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So to sum this all up.. I have a feeling we may sneak into the playoffs next year with all of our current acquisitions and the shift of power shifting to the east.. I know the west is still stronger as far as quantity goes, but I think we beat Portland, Utah, and Phoenix at this point, all playoff teams. &amp;nbsp;If we do give up big all just for cap space and picks, I'm fine with that, we need to bring someone else in next year once Ricky swims on over. &amp;nbsp;WE HAVE A VERY GOOD THING GOING HERE! Lets all become T'wolves season ticket holders NOW, I'd hate to see the &quot;Las Angeles Timberwolves of Anaheim who play in Oakland on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/GSW&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Warriors&lt;/a&gt; away games and Sacramento their way games&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MARK MY WORDS&gt; I personally guarantee the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/MIN&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Minnesota Timberwolves&lt;/a&gt; will win a title before the &quot;self proclaimed&quot; &quot;king&quot; wins one.....&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PS: I do Apologize for this rave, I got caught up in Lebronapalooza at my favorite sports bar.&lt;/p&gt;
