Recap:
Ndudi Ebi was the big surprise in this game scoring a season-high 30 points, but was robbed of the POTG title by Ricky Davis who helped hold the team together in the final stages. Both Justin Reed and Kevin Garnett went down with injuries in the 4th, but Tom Gugliotta stepped into the big shoes of Garnett to make a steal and two free throws with 18 seconds left to force the win. The downer on the night is that even though Garnett pulled up with no long-term injury effects, Justin Reed will be out for 3 weeks with a sore toe, a real shame for Reed who had been starting to find some form of late.

ON THE BLOCK
Image

It is always a tough time when it comes to losing players, especially if the guys in question have been with the club for a while.
As the GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves it is my duty to announce that we are currently assessing our trade options for Marko Jaric, Troy Hudson and Trenton Hassell.
The needs of the Minnesota Timberwolves on-court team are such that another big man and-or small forward is needed to bolster our team from off the bench with the possibility of starting some games as well.
Off the court, we also require players who are more financially viable, which shall be examined below, along with the on-court reasons for deciding to shop these players:

Marko Jaric:
Whilst having a more or less solid start to the season, Marko Jaric has been dropping off of late. He is probably a little too slow both on his feet and with his hands/dribbling skills for the PG and SG positions he has been playing. Although decently priced at 5M and an overall rating of 71, we believe he just isn't what we need right now, and could get a greater return from a different player for our money.

Troy Hudson: It pains us to put Troy on the trading block as he's been with us for a couple of seasons now, and pretty much has done nothing wrong. He is always reliable off the bench or as a starter at the PG spot. Very quick skills and a scorching three-point shot, there is very little that Troy cannot do. However with this young evolving team he struggles to see minutes sometimes behind the likes of developing starter PG Marcus Banks. In many teams Troy would be the starter or number one backup but because of the number of guards on the team, he isn't getting as much playing time as he should.
A good player, he deserves his minutes but we just can't give them to him right now and believe he would be put to much better use by another club. On the money side of things, his 5.25M salary is simply too much for someone seeing as few minutes as he is.

Trenton Hassell: There was doubt in the minds of many when perservering with Trenton at the beginning of the season but he came out of training camp firing, having gained 2 overall ratings points in that training time alone so we stuck by him. However it was not long before we were second-guessing ourselves. He is a dogging defender, one of our toughest but he just isn't worth the 3.96M we are paying him.


We are looking to package these players in a deal for a big man and mid-high 70s guard/forward. Because of the salaries inovled however we are having trouble in negotiations with most teams when trying to balance out the money. Most teams are over the cap so our options have been somewhat restricted. We are investigating all possibilities though, so stay tuned.

Opinions welcome.

The Minnesota Timberwolves would like to announce they have completed the following two trades:

-Marko Jaric to the New Orleans - Oklahoma Hornets for Chris Andersen
-Marcus Banks back to the Boston Celtics for Gerald Green

Image

ImageImage


We welcome Chris Andersen who will bolster our big-man department as well as Gerald Green, an up-and-coming youngster who may prove to be a hassle for a couple of starting players. These moves also allow us to give Troy Hudson the starting PG position he deserves, and also lets us play Bracey Wright off the bench as backup PG.

Nice trade, its good to see they both played well in their first game, personally I wouldnt have got Andersen but yeah, hes a good hustler, GG will be a great asset for now and the future :D

Yeah, great hustle player is Andersen. I've always been a fan of the Birdman and never really liked Jaric. Banks was a tough one to let go of but I think ultimately Gerald Green will be the better option.

Recap:
It looks so badly like I played for the Birdman's stats in this high-scoring game but that is not what happened. He saw more minutes due to a couple of the starters in foul trouble, plus he ate up alot of Rasho's minutes as he went in as the C as well as PF.

Image
Jason Richardson always tough to contain

Bracey Wright has been making the most of his minutes.

NOOOOOOOOOO, Marcus Banks is gone :(, I love Marcus, but megh, it's your dynasty.

I liked the other trade though, I don't really like Jaric and Andersen is kinda funny. Is he doing a FFS one-handed runner in one of those pictures?

Mon May 01, 2006 10:35 pm

Yeah he actually hit that shot, he hits a few of those runners actually. Which is something notable especially considering the slider settings I"m using.

CLE
Points: L. Hughes - 30
Assists: E. Snow - 5
Rebounds: A. Varejao - 12

Recap:
Ilgauskas was carrying an injury hence Varejao saw bigger minutes in this game. Wolves should have won by more, having lead by more than 14 at one stage, but kept missing open shots. 12 in the second half to be exact (thanks once again to the EA comeback code). Eddie Griffin finally picks up a POTG award, probably should've had a couple more by now but his rebounding and defensive supremacy really got the Wolves over the line.
