Regardless of what anyone thinks of Kandi, he is a good starting C ... and Minnesota has had a much better summer than anyone could have imagined getting Cassel, Sprewell, and Kandi.
Minnesota had a tough team last season and they should be that much better this season.
Looks like the West might have the top 5 teams in the league.

Kandi sucks but at least they still have an actual center. Just some big slob to slam against Shaq and Duncan.
Spree, Cassell and KG are veterans. They won't let Kandi F around. Kg will slap him, Spree will choke him and Cassell will threaten him with a knife. It's gonna be fine.

I was just looking at the numbers and noticed something funny.
Glenn Robinson $10,372,333 $12,000,000
Terrell Brandon $11,100,000 $12,025,000
Latrell Sprewell $13,500,000 $14,625,000
Keith Van Horn $13,279,750 $14,487,000 $15,694,250
The Knicks are actually taking on additional salary to get Van Horn. Laden is going to get it big time!

Here is how I rate each team
Biggest Winner:
T-Wolves, basically they just pick up Spreewell out of nothing, they sent an huge unused contract for a player who is still good for around 15ppg. Yes, they need Brandon to free up cap space for KG, but with this nucleus, KG would want to stay in this team more than before.
Second place:
Sixers basically ungrade from one dimentional scorer to another better one dimentional scorer. Van Horn and Robinson are similar in style, no defense, and good offensive game. And with Robinson, Iverson gets his side kick, but would Glenn become another Stackhouse or Larry Hughes to Iverson?
Third:
Hawks, this team is not going anywhere, so it's smart for them to sent Robinson away and in return they got Brandon who is perfect for their rebulding plan: free cap space. The Hawks are not looking to win right now, and I see them as a winner because they got the biggest expiring contract and that frees up CHANK of cap spaces for them.
New York:
I really don't know what this team is going for, I dont' think this team improve at all going from Spree to Van Horn. Even tho Van Horn is a better player than Spree right now, it's pretty obviously that he's already away from his prime, plus, now they have two jump shooters in this team, Houston and Van Horn, and still didn't solve their centre and point guard problem (assume Vujanic is not coming yet.)

LOL  My sentiments exactly. Poor poor knicks. KVH is not going to last in New York. Philly fans barely put up with him this year.
If you like missed dunks, bad dribbling, and an inability to hold onto the ball in traffic, you'll LOVE Keith Van Horn.
 that poor poor kid. All he wants to be is an inconsistent role player and he keeps getting thrown into these high pressure situations.

I guess I'll have to shout this since no one has been hearing me Olwakandi shoots 43% from the field. People say, oh he can atleast rebound and block shots, sell so can Calvin Booth, but atleast Booth won't kill your team by hogging the ball and shooting 43% from the field.

LMAO Lizzy maybe KG will just embarass him in 1-on-1
We'll probably have Kendall Gill on the bench too, who's ok, and Gary Trent who's also fine. We'll probably use the LLE too and fill in with some minimum vets.

I think Minnesota got the best out of this deal along with Philly and they also have had a great off-season, but I don't see why this means KG owes it to Minnesota to stay or he has to re-up for McHale's efforts. Let's face it Spree and Cassell aren't getting any younger, Kandi man hasn't proved anything yet, and Wally dissappeared in the playoffs. Another first round exit, which is very possible, by the Wolves and KG is going to get attacked harder than he ever has. KG staying isn't a lock until he actually signs. Again think Minnesota has had a great off-season.

You think he'll be able to do that here? He was crap for the Clips, but that's not a basketball team, that's just a bunch of basketball players that are officially called a team. There's gonna be a winning attitude around here, and players won't be able to slack off like they can with the Clips. This offseason seems too good to be true. I'm waiting to wake up from a dream or something. I can see KG taking a big pay cut now. He's actually got a team around him, and I've seen his house, he don't need the money.
