A friendly war has broken out between two of my favorite NBA blogs. A few days ago Ryan Schwan - of Hornets247 — posted the following: Flat out, the Grizzlies will be pushing to have one of the worst records of all time. Their veterans are the worst sort of dregs: Greg Buckner, Antoine Walker, and [...]

The Wolves altered their roster quite a bit with the recent draft-day trade that brought in Mike Miller, Kevin Love, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins while dispatching O.J. Mayo, Antoine Walker, Marko Jaric and Greg Buckner. The main rotation guys seem fairly clear: Randy Foye, Miller, Ryan Gomes*, Rashad McCants, Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Corey [...]

The TWolves going to get a whole Lotta Love . Minnesota gives up OJ Mayo, Marco Jaric , Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner for Kevin Love, Matt Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins in what is now the biggest draft day trade. Personally, I think that Minnesota is making a huge, huge mistake. OJ is a much better prospect than Love. Memphis fans should be ecstatic right now.

Just came across ESPN. Memphis gets: O.J. Mayo Marko Jaric Antoine Walker Greg Buckner Minnesota gets: Kevin Love Mike Miller Brian Cardinal Jason Collins Nothing confirmed, but we will keep you updated. This could be a precursor to a second move that nets Michael Beasley. Perhaps Mayo/Warrick for Beasley/Banks? Also, I would expect that if this deal goes through that Walker is bought out, as might...

ESPN is giving you the opportunity to make 10 brackets, so while I concentrate on figuring out my final 'true' bracket I figured out a way to stupidly decide the games. The move was to pit the best NBA representative from each team against each other. If the team does not have an NBA rep than they used their leading scorer from their tournament team. 1st Round Paul Pierce (Kansas) over Ime Udoka (Portland...

It goes without saying that the KG trade hasn't translated into much success yet (see 6-33 record), but it's not out of the question that the Wolves will be more than a doormat for the league next year. If that turnaround is going to happen, some tough decisions are going to have to be made personnel-wise [...]

Golden State took control from the start, and held on at the finish as the Wolves mounted another too-late charge.

No, not their two front teeth. Those are fine, but everything else is hurting on the injury- and illness-plagued Wolves.
