HUH???

The texts and calls I got at approx. 7:03 PM CST warm my heart.

YES I am indeed happy we got my cute little Rubio. Mainly because he's a spainard spitfire who does a mean no look pass (at least in that one vid they played about 17 times). Plus he is a product of the 1990's which is just so weird to think about. Plus he's dang good. d.a.n.g. good.



HOWEVER. I am still scratching my head as to how the rest of the night panned out.

I guess I'm not sure Kahn realizes that there are indeed positions in basketball. And sometimes it might be helpful to have players who fulfill the tested, tried and true formula of having not only point guards on the team, but also shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards, and centers.

PLEASE. I just want someone who's gonna shoot. Ellington may fit the bill..but maybe it'd be nice to have another because although I didn't follow the NBA as intently as usual this year, last I checked wins were still based on points. and points are given based on baskets........right?

I know a lot of people are worked up about this. Including me..to a point (guard). And maybe I'm being too optimistic when I say, the Wolves just might have a shot at breaking 30 wins this year..if a trade happens. I'm slightly torn. Because Flynn is good. Rubio is good. but will they be good together? and will Rubio even play this year? He supposedly 'will play for free' if he has to....I always love that one. No breath holding here, folks.

Meanwhile, the Wolves seem to continue the forward thinking approach that we have been stuck in since 1989. Tell me this. When will the Wolves take a chance so we can be good NOW. in the present. rather than 2 years down the road. and then another 2 years down the road. and a couple 13, 14 years down the road. Kahn clearly thinks it's necessary to make up for lost draft picks (thanks Joe Smith) and just bank 'em so we can dominate the draft in 2009, 2010, and perhaps beyond.

Who cares that we will always suck? At least we'll have all the point guards.

Here's to hoping Kahn knows what he's doing before he becomes another McFail.

On second thought, here's to knowing Kahn doesn't know what he's doing, but gets lucky anyway.
