Kahn expects to bring in star free agent next summer!

Postby Wolves2011 on Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:49 pm

Regarding the salary cap, Wolves' owner Glen Taylor said, "we've got ourselves in a situation next year where we're low enough so that we could go out and try to bring in a free agent, and in this particular case I'm talking about maybe a free agent that has some star quality and experience.
Rondo is worth more than the $10 million he told Maxwell he would sign for. If we wait for free agency it will cost us more.

Stop posting so much.
I'd like to dedicate this sig to David Robinson and Larry Bird and the smart GMs that took a chance on them even though they had to wait for them.

another John Hollinger article, mentioning the Wolves and LeBron.....

My thought: He will either stay with Cavs, or sign with Nets, Bulls, or Wolves

Who knows what their definition of star is. This is not worth a thread.

I know it's hard to believe and im not saying he's going to, but don't completely smash the possibility, look at the talent around Bron rite now, that team without him is lottery bound, i mean down there in like top 3 worst, we are in way better position to go further than what the Cavs got now

Big Al > Shaq (now)
Love > Varejao

Flynn, an up and coming star, Sessions, and rights to Rubio, and prolly a top 5 pick this year

We are set, now just add Bron to that mix......and im sure Bron recognizes that as well. He is looking at all different scenarios

The Wolves? That's stoner talk. Wolves are probably bottom 5 teams that Wade and LBJ would want to play for.

Not sure what star we have a shot at, you'd have to be liberal w/ the term "star". Joe Johnson, maybe Redd opts out for a shot at long term security if he has a great season, or Gay are the only 3 that I can imagine. Maybe a flier on Ginobili if he looks healthy since we can draft a swing and Gino can start or play 6th man.

Cleveland Basketball is boring. Timberwolves are one of a few teams that really make sense, I really belive it will come down to can Rambis & staff develop talent, if they can, it's not that absurd. It would be a boom for the Nba. Timberwolves are assembling a exciting style for fans. I have been impressed with the ball movement. LBj or no LBJ it is clear that they are putting together a team that will be very competive well into the future.

twolves will get a joe johnson, rudy gay type.....

not a lebron/wade/bosh type...

let it be written..

lebron aint gonna take less money to come play with sota wolves im sorry he wont....by coming here he'd leave about 20 mill on the table to come to a bottom 5 nba team. It's a nice pipe dream but not real. Cleveland can pay him the most money, most likely he stays if not think jersey or new york to go get cozy with his buddy jay z

Not positive, but this might be the only thing we've agreed on thus far.
