Canis Hoopus Nickname time

Reading rumors of the wolves trying to get KMart confused the heck out of me, until I realized people were referring to Kevin Martin, not Kenyon Martin. I'm sure I'm not the only fan with an incomplete understanding of player nicknames. I'll list some wolves affiliated players and their nicknames*. Please add your knowledge to the pile.

The wolves have said that they want to lead the league in player development. Given that, what will they do to help ease Cousins transition to the League... assuming they draft him.

I don't know that we have anything Portland is going to want, but I would hope Mr. Kahn is exploring trade possibilities. Rudy Fernandez would be a step up at SG, and could strengthen the chances of Ricky coming over.

Canis Hoopus Another small trade

Hornets get

PG Chucky Atkins

SF Corey Brewer

PG Bobby Brown

 

Timberwolves get:

PG Antonio Daniels

SF Julian Wright

 

Why:  Atkins has a non-guaranteed salary, and this would save them quite a bit as they're in the luxury tax.  NO already has an established point, and just drafted a backup.  Minnesota would get a far better veteran tutor than Atkins.  And the Wright for Brewer swap is just for the hell of it; neither of these players are up to expectations.  Corey can play the two, which NO needs more help at, and Wright isn't getting that much burn under Scott.  Any thoughts?
