Minnesota finalizing 2 year $20MM deal with AK - per Y!Woj

[freakazoid]

There goes our 8TH SEED.

Nice to see him get a very good contract after some of the silly crap that has been posted on this board.

Also, the only real reason this is a considerable overpayment, is because of AK's injury concerns. A healthy AK is probably worth around 7-8, even at this stage of his career. If the Wolves can stay healthy this year, I think they make the playoffs.

Good lord. I'm glad the Jazz did not pay him that again. I like AK as much as the next fan....But that is too much cheddar for his services.

I guess when the other SF on your team is Wesley Johnson you are willing to overpay for mediocrity.

 

[richgates]

I look forward to the Rubio/Ridnour/AK/Love/Pekovic lineup.

Someone on Reddit dubbed them the "Cream Team".

 

[pickledXgrandma]

His agent must be ruthless. Such undeserved $$$$

 

[TroutBum]

Is any part of this sarcastic?

Not one drop.

Hard to argue with this.

Outside of the Jazz, AK, Rubio, and Love are my favorite players in the league. They're also all white. Whatever that means.

Solid post, also hard to argue with.

So that's what happened down there. Be right back.

AK and Rubio is good? Remember AK and Dwill?

the wolves draft 2009:

5th pick: Rubio
6th pick: Flynn
18th pick: Teague

three point guards? the Rubio draft was great. but the rest, are you kidding me? better options: Curry, DeRozan, Jennings, Taj Gibson


the wolves draft 2010:

4th pick: Johnson

kid is a bust. drafted when he was already very old and did not have much potential left. better options: Cousins, Monroe, Hayward, George


the wolves draft 2011:

2nd pick: Williams

Williams is not a player they needed at all, not the best fit, but you can't complain much about this selection. better options? maybe Kanter and especially Valanciunas as a great fit next to Love.

conclusion:

the wolves suck and will continue to suck...

...are you making the same point twice? I'm confused.

 

[One Brow]

He got overpaid again?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?!?!

No, that's about right for his contributions.

Not that you had any credibility to start with, but the fact that you just said ^^ that ^^ takes whatever point you were trying to prove and poohs all over it. Sloppy wet ones.

 

[Deleted member 848]

Rubio
Ridnour
AK
Love
Pek



I cannot remember the last all-white NBA starting lineup.

you can ask my credibility in two years time from now... when kanter is going to prove ya all haterz wrong! ^^

Cool with me...


As long as this move keeps kids from snorting coke, feel me?

Look at dat jealous little bitch in the back. He wants some nose candy before social studies, but lil' Tammy just can't seem to get enough o' dat funky stuff.

I don't know why you guys are so down on the wolves. Kevin Love is the best pf in the game and Adelman is one of the best coaches in the league. Barring any major injuries, this team looks like it will be top 7 in the west.

 

[Okur13]

Woah... I thought he would get 5 million a year at the MOST. Will be interesting to see how he does in a different system.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Just when I thought Kahn might be on track and was applauding many of his moves, he goes out and spends $10M on AK. Wow! Just Wow!

Didn't get Batum, Love threatens to bolt. Minnesota goes to DEFCON 2.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I hope Love likes shooting jumpers.

 

[Stifle Tower]

I hope Love likes shooting jumpers.

No, but I'd bet his rebounding average increases by 3 or 4. He's going to have plenty of chances for offensive boards.

You made four statements here. Three of them are erroneous.
