Timberwolves make a big trade.

Hi Readers well it is a crazy NBA Friday, and the Wolves made a trade. The trade for us includes Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Olowokandi, Dwayne Jones, and a conditional first round pick. The Boston Celtics send us Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed, and two conditional second round picks.

Well lets do some trade speculation the Timberwolves have been missing two things in the past five years. The first thing is inside shooting and Ricky Davis and Mark Blount bring this to our team. The other is youth and speed and Ricky Davis and Marcus Banks break out the ball. Wally brought a pure shooter to this team but he isn't consist with his shooting. Michael Olowokandi is a bust pickup and needs to go, and Dwayne Jones was a undrafted free agent that anybody could have had.

The thing that is breaking the deal for me is the First Round draft pick for Justin Reed and two second round draft picks. It doesn't make any sense to give up a soild draft pick for Justin Reed and two draft picks. So in my books this is how it brakes down:

Minnesota Timberwolves Boston Celtics

Wally Szczerbiak ----------------------------> Ricky Davis & Marcus Banks
Michael Olowokandi ------------------------> Mark Blount
Dwayne Jones-----------------------------------> Justin Reed
First Round Pick ------------------------------> Two Second Round Picks

So I think Dwayne Jones and the first round draft pick for Justin Reed and the two conditional second round picks wasn't needed in this trade. Kevin Mchale you are a moron for agreeing on the last stuff have you been in a fantasy league you don't trade away the future.

The Timberwolves play the Houston Rockets tonight look for the new recruits not to play tonight. Look for the Timberwolves to lose tonight with a battered roster, but Rashad McCants should get a big chance tonight. They play the Spurs tomorrow night and look for the new guys to get some looks.

Other Notes:

The Wild are hot and lighting up the Western Conference leader Nashville Predators. They won last night 5-1 againest a pretty soild Nashville squad. They play the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight and look for them to keep rolling. I think they're trying to make a soild run at the playoffs.

Everybody have a good weekend.
