    Speculation about the Wolves new CEO via Parker Fox

    It's like arguing with a thirteen year old. Jacksonville does have an NFL team. My mistake. Raleigh is 2:45 away from Charlotte (167 miles). The NBA Marketing Zone is 150 miles. Raleigh is an option. If the NBA decides a market is attractive, it will wave the 150 mile Marketing Zone...

    Speculation about the Wolves new CEO via Parker Fox

    It's wherever these guys can make the most money. If it happens to be here, great. If it's someplace else, that's fine too. There's no particular connection to the TC. Being in the 16th largest market doesn't mean much. All the one team towns are way below us in market size. Austin...

    Speculation about the Wolves new CEO via Parker Fox

    Certainly hope you are right. There's an alternate scenario. There are a number of markets in the NBA where the team is literally the only big four franchise in town and most of those clubs are doing well. Utah, OKC, Portland, SA, Memphis, Sacramento and Charlotte. Of that group, Memphis and...

    Speculation about the Wolves new CEO via Parker Fox

    I only have one concern and it has been my concern from the beginning. Will these guys keep the team in MN. That's it. ARod has a long history of not telling the truth. I'll be thrilled to have my concern misplaced. A long time ago everybody loved Norm Green and they thought he was a...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    Curry is still a great player. Jimmy talks the talk. Dray is whatever. They have totally mismanaged Kuminga, including this off season. He dominated the wolves one on one offensively in the playoffs and they haven't helped him develop other parts of his game. He hates them and they hate him...

    OKC, Houston, Denver, MN, LAL, LAC plus SA all have so much talent that the final standings will be dictated by injuries. GS is toast.

    The Twins are likely trying to screw them on service time.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    I watched the game off and on today and I noticed a number of Twins not running out ground balls and pop flies, including a couple of "I think I'll carry my bat to first base." A terrible look.

    Speaking of new ownership, anybody heard any rumors on who it might be? Supposedly local.

    If he’s 6’ and 175lbs then Rob Dillingham is bigger than Rudy Gobert. :)

    Calvin Griffith would be damn proud of the Twins front office. Damn proud. They got rid of half the team, including some good players under team control, slashed the hell out of payroll and they brought back and Amazon truck full of "maybe some days." The kid they are most excited about is a...

    Gophers 2025-26 non-con schedule news

    Adding one decent home non conference game was low hanging fruit. I'm very happy with the hire and hopeful about the direction of the program. However, adding a decent game (we aren't asking for a FF team!) would have been a a nice gesture for the most true blue fans and was relatively easy to...

    CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year

    He really is doing the same thing now as he was doing on the Colbert Report--he's mocking the hell out of right wing politicians and media figures. The difference is that maga has zero sense of humor and feels very beleaguered and put upon even though it has all of the power.

    Wolves Summer League

    Berenger doesn't have a post up game yet. That means Saturday night the wolves' perimeter players made almost no effort to get him the ball. Berenger is really fast. He gets up and down the court at the same speed as quick guards. Zikarsky made a couple of nifty plays--a no look interior...

    I'm not sure I fully understand what they are trying to do with the empty seats. If the seat is unsold, it's obvious. However, if the seat is sold and the ticket holder hasn't shown up (yet) are they talking about basically reselling that seat to someone in the building? Theoretically, the...

    I am a wolves addict. Time for an intervention followed by a twelve step program. I watched over half of the wolves' summer league game yesterday and I'm not proud of it. My little kernels of air tight conclusions based on about half of the first summer league game: 1. Berenger looks like he...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    From what I can tell I would guess Johnson had a much higher winning percentage as a head coach than you have had in the court room. Not a bad zinger. While you have decided that Johnson wasn't "deserving" of the job and that his sixteen years as an assistant was meaningless experience, the...
