WOW I almost had it. OK not realy, but I did have Min and Alt in a four team trade.

 

[PhiLLmattiC]

NO!!!

 

[elindholm]

Is Robinson better than Van Horn? I don't think so. Philadelphia must have really disliked Van Horn to agree to this deal.

Oh, the Sixers save a few million dollars this year and next, then get out of the contract a year earlier. That's pretty good, never mind.

And just think, Minnesota could have had Hardaway instead...

Minny is going to be good...

Cassell, Spree, KG, Kandi

What about Wally

 

[PhiLLmattiC]

I think Glenn Robinson is better than Keith van Horn but thats just my opinion. I don't know why the Knicks would want Van Horn but then again they did trade for Antonion McDyess for Nene, Camby and Mark Jackson and max out Alan Houston.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

the wolves are better than us. crap.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Did the Wolves really add Cassel, Spree and Kandi in one summer? I think that they just vaulted themselves into the top three in the west - that team should beable to kick people's asses and possibly be able to stand up to the Lakeshow, if Kobe's not in jail.

Wow! If that trade goes through it is quite a move for the Timberwolves. I'm not sure if I really helps any of the other teams except the Atlanta Hawks who will get some cap relief.

Glenn Robinson is probably a better scorer than Keith Van Horn, but he's a worst defender... if that's possible.

Cassell, Spree, Wally, KG, Kandi

Let us review the west:

San Antonio
Sacto
LA
Minny
Dallas
Phoenix
Portland
Houston

That is one POWERFUL CONFRENCE!

 

[Krangodnzr]

I was happy to see Arenas go to the Eastern Conference, for the simple fact that it made the West a little weaker.

But this sucks!

Deal would ship Sprewell to Timberwolves

A four-team trade involving the Timberwolves, Knicks, 76ers and Hawks has been agreed to and likely will be completed on Wednesday, ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reports.

In the deal, the Wolves would pick up Knicks' forward Latrell Sprewell. In turn, the Knicks would get Keith Van Horn from the 76ers.

Philadelphia would a legitimate No. 2 scorer, Glenn Robinson, to complement All-Star guard Allen Iverson. The Hawks would get point guard Terrell Brandon's contract from Minnesota.

A source with the Timberwolves told Bucher that the trade was complete, but 76ers general manager Billy King told Bucher that it was close but not done. Another NBA source said that it was his belief that the trade would be finalized on Wednesday.

It is the second major move that the Wolves have made this offseason. Minnesota, hoping to make a big move in the tough Western Conference, signed big man Michael Olowokandi on July 16. A lineup including Kevin Garnett, Olowokandi and Sprewell should give the Wolves a more dynamic offense next season.

Sprewell, a fan favorite in New York, has spent the last five seasons with the Knicks. Playing out of position at small forward, the 6-5 Sprewell averaged 16.4 points last season. He spent the first six years of his career with the Warriors, and is a career 19.1 points-per-game scorer.

 

[Billythekid]

woah!

Minnesota would have a starting line of Cassell/Hudson, Sprewell (playing his natural SG position), Wally, KG, Kandi.

Thats impressive.... but far from proven!!

I guess that he is but he will demand even more touches then Van Horn did and I'm really curious how will Iverson handle this.

for the long haul, yes I would take our team over theirs, but for the next two years, this sqaud is gonna be scary and I hate to say it, better than ours.

 

[SirStefan32]

This makes the Wolves a very dangerous team.

Having said that, they still can not beat the "Big 4" of the West.
