I have a question.

Why hasn't KOC showed this sudden willingness to improve the team over the past few years?

Cause ownership hasn't given him a green light to be aggressive until now. The only reason they are improving now is because they don't want to lose DWill in 2 years.
 
Etan Thomas has averaged about one block per game in his career. Memo averaged 1.1 this past season. Koufus had the most blocks in Orlando. Rod Benson had 2 blocks in roughly a games PT 36 minutes and he was 9th last year in the DLeague in blocks. The guy that lead the DLeague in blocks is now on the TWolves roster.
 
Landing Theo Ratliff would be the icing on the cake. Big Al would know him from both Boston and Minnesota. TALK TO HIM, AL!!

Can you give us a few examples of the alleged misinformation?

About politics. He sees the problems like everyone else. But he is stuck in the left right paradigm like a lot of America(luckily its getting better). He sees the government as the savior and the only way we can fix the problems is having the government spending more money and give poor people more benefits. When that is the exact opposite. But keynesian economics is what is taught at our schools. Its either Marxist or keynesian economics. So I don't hate anyone who thinks in those ways because they were not given good options in school.

And I am talking about his political views as a whole. I really respect the guy though. I remember when he was calling out some of the NBA stars for not speaking out about important issues. Saying we have a stage to do this. We need to speak out.
What the role of government should be in his eyes is what he is misinformed about.
 
MIkki Moore guys. He blocks shots better than a lot of other big guys and we have been talking with him for a long time.

I agree. He would be perfect for us. Hopefully he wants to play here. But he played 22 minutes a game for the bobcats. And there is no way he will get that many minutes anywhere else. But he probably knows that coming to Utah he probably won't even get consistent minutes once Okur is healthy.
