    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    If Finch thought Dillingham was big enough to play in the NBA he would have played him before he had to. It’s not like Conley was playing well. Now that Dillingham is getting a chance to play, he’s not establishing himself. He makes the occasional flashy play on offense but mostly he’s barely...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    He's worth billions of dollars. Not sure that's really true. He bought the team for about $90M and the amount of his own money in the deal was minuscule. He did fine. I hate to say it but I think this one might have been age related.

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    ARod barely escaped on this one. He was trying to mark the deal up on his potential investors and they weren't having it. He was saved by the language in the contract because it appears that they didn't actually have the funds to close by the strike date in the contract. Bloomberg is the...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    He's not a great coach and it doesn't matter about his next job. He's not playing against B1G competition. In this job he has more money to spend than his competitors. In the next job if he has a financial advantage, he'll look good. When he was here running the weave....those were the old rules.

    That was a fun season. I think Pitino was here eight years. His B1G record was 49-85.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    FTR, I'm not in favor of keeping Johnson. The program is too polluted at this point. I'm also not in favor of keeping Coyle. Like Maturi, he's better than terrible at his job and he's earnestly likable. That's good enough for Minnesota. It shouldn't be.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Except for Jelly Fam, who wasn't any good, Johnson recruited most of Pitino's decent players. I used to fall asleep watching that weave 35 feet from the basket. Pitino's having success in New Mexico because he's got money to buy decent players.

    Agree on your second point. Hard to see how they are going to get any public money, especially when they are buying the asset at 40-50% of market value. (Also hard to see how these two operators had to scramble to raise money for such a steal. Doesn't bode well.) Reportedly, the expansion...

    Glad you are so thrilled about ARod. You are still butt hurt about taking the L on player wear and tear. You'll get over it.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Impressions matter to all human beings, especially to 17-22 year olds. Having a shitty old building doesn't help. Having an empty bank account really hurts. We'll never know if Johnson can coach because he was hired under the old rules. Considering the climate, the building, the lack of...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    As I've said, I'm fine with the change if Bloomberg really is involved and takes control of the partnership. At least he has NBA money. Taylor is not a paragon of virtue, but he's the liar we know and he has history and at least (maybe) a modicum of loyalty to this market. ARod is just a...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    The chances are .001% that they are moving to Seattle. The NBA isn't giving up that market for a lousy relocation fee, even if ARod owned ten homes in that market. Agree that these guys are guppies, which is why they need Bloomberg. Without him in some kind of a controlling position, the NBA...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    The NBA is not going to let the wolves move to Vegas or Seattle. The expansion fees dwarf a relocation fee. They will let the wolves move to another market if they don't get a new building. It has happened before.

    Luka is a feel good story. He's one of the best garbage time players in the league. The problem is that he can't play meaningful minutes in an NBA game. Rob's performance trend is playing out the way Finch predicted at the start of the year. He's been really good about one out of three games...
