Love hates Kahn!

I remember the talk around the Wes pick; a lot of people wondered why take him over Cousins just cause big man are so few and far between. Monroe was not really in the picture with anyone to go that high.
Kahn & Taylor stuffed up big time by pissing the best PF in the game off; to get a big man that good that young who wants to play in Minnesota? They did not sign him to the max then they allow him to have an out after 2 seasons? Crazy. Love will leave, bolt to the lakers is my guess, and Minny fans will go nuts (deservedly so) and then the rebuilding will start again. Love is not going to waste his prime in the wasteland of mediocrity like Garnett did.

No Deal!!

Pretty fair assessment IMO. This team has had so many high draft picks in the last 5 years and Love is the only one who has delivered. (Rubio will once the knee comes good)
Since Love was drafted (Which was by trade when McHale was running things) the Wolves have drafted 4 times in the top six and struck out on 3 of them:

2009 -
5. Rubio - played half a season but has the potential to be an all star.
6. Flynn - Out of the league
(could have taken Curry/DeRozan/Holiday/Jennings)
2010 -
4. Johnson - Traded to Phoenix in a salary dump/on his way outta the league
(could have taken Cousins/Monroe/George)
2011 -
2. Williams - Currently getting DNP's and being shopped on the trade table
(could have taken Knight/Thompson/Leonard/Shumpert/Faried)

They could have had a young starting lineup of

Rubio
DeRozan or Curry
Thompson or Leonard
Love
Cousins or Monroe

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but this team seems to be consistantly bad at evaluating talent.

Love will be out of there as soon as he is a free agent and I think its completely justified.

Tigers won 117 to 102. Ten deep to 6 deep. Enough said.
