No, and Muggsy wansn't a Basketball player at all -talk about holding on to myths- you can't simply place guys in a position based solely on his size ?!

I'd put him at the 3 if we got a starting quality PF like Reef - if we went and got Peja I'd keep KG at the 4... why? Solely because I would want to start the best guys ALMOST regardless of "natural position". That said, I still think KG can exploit people better from the 3.

the thing is, sar would be a sf if we do not get miles in return. sar lost wight and plans to be a sf. i dont know why we are still talking about this because portland has said they will not do this trade.......it is over.

In today's Pioneer Press Shooter says that the trade isn't dead and talks are still ongoing. Take that with a spoon full of salt, since Walters isn't always the most reliable source, but it is what it is. Let me chime in on the side that doesn't necessarily think we need to make a move like this, but one that thinks Reef would fit in very well next to KG on this team. I think it definitely shifts some of our perimetner talent to a larger player that can play in the post, which is a great thing. So if something like this does go down I'd definitely be excited...

this trade is dead. There should be no talking about this because they could keep sar for a year because liek spree their 14.625 million dollar contracts expire after this season. I would love for this trade to go through but hassell isnt the best player off the bench and kg is not playing the sf position. if he does we wouldnt ever get a defensive rebound.

How did Garnett get rebounds when he played the SF spot all those years?

How did Reef get all those rebounds all those years?

Reef would EASILY be the best rebounder a Garnett team has had (outside of Garnett). They would DOUBLE the defensive rebounding.

Play.

while i agree with your statement on rebounds...for once, just get it straight...KG has been a power forward since his second or maybe third season. i'm tired of all this talk saying to put him at small forward, just because he plays like one. he is a POWER FORWARD that can do things nobody else in the league can do at his size. so because he prefers to shoot a 12 foot fadeaway jumper than go to the hoop, that makes him a small forward??? he is the best power forward and player in the league.

This is hearsay (maybe some of you in Minnesota can back me up on this), but apparently Flip was on KFAN today talking about the Wolves offseason plans. From what I understand, he says that it was Portland that approached us about a Wally/Reef deal and that he expects Wally to have a monster year for us this year. This might suggest that we shouldn't be holding our breath about this trade taking place...

i'm with flip 100%. give the guys a chance to play together at full strength. no injuries, no contract disputes, no nothing...just let em' go full blast and see what they can do all together from the beginning to hopefully the end.

Since when are the Wolves like the Jazz? We're capped out, taxed out, whatever. I think Hoiberg took the LLE so we'll get the MLE, some trade possibilities, the bargain basement players, and the finally we can draft each year.

I agree. They can make some offers to summer league players, who knows?

We don't need no stinkin' Darius Miles.

BTW, we're looking for bulky PF just like Trent to fill the spot.

we don't need miles or SAR. if you'd done you're research as flip saunders was quoted on the radio the other day "the blazers confronted us with a trade for wally involving SAR." but being that the wolves aren't homers, they obviously declined any real possibility of that trade occurring without something other than rahim.
