Rumor mill has the knicks willing to trade the 4th pick for Ricky Rubio. Do the right thing t-wolves!

More importantly, who are we gonna select, if the stars align and we get the #1 pick in the draft - Okafor or Anthony-Towns? I guess all the "experts" have convinced me go with Anthony-Towns. Big guys who are as athletic as he is and who can guard multiple positions are extremely valuable. His 81% free throw percentage should indicate he can develop a good outside shot.

Okafor can score down low, but he looked real slow on defense in the Championship game. Kaminsky is a good player, but Okafor will have to guard faster bigs in the NBA and Kaminski continually went right by him.

I like Towns, more so for his defense. While it is nice to watch Pek muscle his way into the basket, it isnt much fun to see his opponent walk to the basket and score, because of the lack of defense. Our two second round picks could be a nice addition as well. We could gamble on some over seas talent, and let them develop a couple years while being stashed over seas.

The team has a lot of young talent. If we can develop the young guys, and stay healthy, we should be a playoff team for several years. I realize to some, just being in the playoffs isnt anything, it is competing, and winning the championship, but this is MN, I will be happy with what we can get. We just may be able to make a strong run in a a couple years.

Congratulations to Wiggins, for winning ROY!

However intriguing it sounds, I am not sure it would be the best move.  Rubio may be lacking in scoring ability, but the offence certainly runs better with him.  He is a much needed veteran on this team.  I feel we need yet another QUALITY veteran on this team to bridget the wealth our young talent we have.  We don't have the luxury of good vets to dispose of one of Rubio status.  

Besides, we would screw up and pick the worst of remaining guards anyway.

If it were Rubio straight up for #4, they would be dumb not to do it, but what I read is that they want Rubio and Bazz, or Dieng, for the number 4, and we need to take on some bad salary to make the numbers work. Like what was said, the team would need some experience on the floor, and some mentors for this young group to grow to stars, without veterans they would take a lot longer, if ever to reach their potential.

 

Rubio straight up, get it done, but not if they need to include Shabazz, or Dieng.

I wouldn't do it. Rubio is a heck of a ball handler. Isn't much of a scorer but the offense runs so much better with him on the court. As said they need some vets on the team so getting rid of one of your best one isn't going to help the team. 

Now if you could dump the guy from Superman II I'd be all over it!!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
