6

The biblical sign of incompleteness. Fitting for the GM-less Wolves to get the number 6 pick in the lottery. I should have predicted it. Or at least wagered a bet that they would get bumped down. and by down I mean up. up to 6. from 5. Anyway. LUCK is just not something that has or will ever be associated with the Wolves.

Although 6 sure isn't 1 or 2..or 3 or 4 or 5..I suppose it will have to suffice. Anything would help, right? (Soak up this positivity for the 3 seconds you have it, it's going to take a turn for the worse, I can feel it.)

Let's not forget about past #6 picks..

1999: Wally "my autographed picture was hung in Christa's locker from 8th-10th grade" Szczerbiak
1990: Felton "I'm still in the NBA?" Spencer
1992: Tom "gugilioogliooglibaby" Gugliotta. (by the Bullets.) (do you think he regrets that barbed wire tattoo yet? I regretted it for him by 1996 or so.)

Ok, ok, and ok. That describes my feelings towards those 3 past wolves players.

Good intentions turned recipe for disaster. Maybe I'm a little pessimistic right now, but let's roll with it. here you go:
1 c. horrible ex-GM/coach
3/4 c. sub par players
2 tbsp. players who don't even deserve to be called sub par. maybe sub sub par.
2 tsp. bad draft decisions (minus 1995)
1 Al Jefferson

Mix it together, making sure Al Jefferson gets lost in the mix somewhere so he can't reach his full potential and/or gets injured. Do an under the table deal that makes you lose all your first round draft picks for a couple 13, 14 years. Add a few poor trades for extra suck and an extra cup of plain BAD to really wow the Target Center crowd. Now try to get rid of McHale and find someone willing to A. coach and B. GM one of the worst franchises in the NBA. Enjoy.

Was that too harsh? Maybe, but I feel better.

I just was thinking about how much longer I will have to work. Usually I go by hours, sometimes minutes, but today I decided to count years.

I came up with this: 2 score and some change. Roughly the same time the Wolves will start to turn things around and roughly the same time I will start watching birds from my living room window rather than Wolves games.
