Brewer's out since he's been traded to Houston about a few minutes ago.

Thanks. I wonder if this will accelerate the JG sweepstakes.

Nice move for the Rockets. Houston really upgrading that perimeter defense this season.
Doesn't make any basketball sense for the wolves.  I guess they're just saving a few bucks.

They are taking. Just like Ainge is. Losing games is the goal now for both teams.

Funny thing is we're complaining about being in the second year of a rebuild and it lasting a few years... how long have the Wolves been in rebuild mode for?

I feel like Ainge needs 1 or 2 more deals to plant us firmly at the bottom.  If we were to lose Sully, Bass, Zeller, or Turner you could stick a fork in us.  Can't believe I'm saying that Turner is important to the team, but he is.

I even feel like we could steady the ship if we lose Green.  Time will tell.

They haven't been above .500 since '04-05. Though, they came close last year.

They made the playoffs in '04.

Celtics win 120-97.  14 turnovers  25 assists!  Is Thornton playing?  If so, he scores 20!

So let's say Danny doesn't find acceptable deals for Green, Bass, and Thornton for awhile, what if we go on a winning streak similar to when Rondo went out with the ACL injury? Let's say we get up to like the 7th seed in the East, which isn't unrealistic, what is the plan then? I don't think we're much worse now without Rondo, so if our vets aren't gone soon Danny will be in a really weird predicament.

Very valid question.

The answer: I have no clue.

Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

They need to move all 3 right quick. Cannot deal with not being all in with doing the right thing and not embracing the tank.

Making the playoffs is a possibility.  Could see us playing better without Rondo.  If the team rallies without Rondo, all it does is drive up the trade value of our vets.  AInge has never been one to overreact to winning streaks.
