Unlike us, that team actually wants him. And they got him for nothing basically (I know it was necessary but I still don't get/like the Minnesota part of the trade, but whatever, what's done is done--moving on)..Don't expect DNPs forever! Eventually, the frontcourt out there's gonna be Love flanked by Beasley and Randolph. Potential for a dynamite frontline right there boy. He's gonna play there.

Sorry, Balkman is nowhere near as talented as AR

Yeah, that's rediculous..Come on.

I'm not sold on the first part of that statement at all -- and the mistakes he made were a product of the kid trying too hard to make an impression in the miniscule amount of PT Mike did manage to throw him every once every blue moon..That's how I'll always look at this. Nothing will ever get me to change my mind on that and I'm only gonna get more upset once he gets acclimented out there and starts showing everyone exactly what he can do. AR was a HUGE opportuinty lost by the Knicks.

I actually think Corey Brewer's not a bad player and has something to offer esp. defensively, but if Mike's never gonna play him, this part of the trade, necessary as it may have been, was terrible...We should've forgot all about Minnesota and shopped around better for a team that was actually gonna give us something for him in return..Something we could've used---like a 1st rounder or at least a second rounder..I can't believe we didn't get back a 1st, a 2nd or at least Kosta Koufos..WTF? What happened to Indiana and Portland?

I'll learn to live with what we gave DEN for Melo--the man's a star in his prime and you gotta give to get but I just can't swallow the Minnesota part of this trade...We got robbed here.

Doesn't it seem like we're getting reamed on some of our trades. What we've given up these last few seasons seems to be overboard for someone who's considered to be a 'shrewd negotiator".

Is Minny still in the hunt? If they are then they would be wise to ease him in slowly into the rotation. If they are out of contention then they should just play him.

Minny really needs to trade some of their PGs. Kahn is stupid. They need a dynamic SG. Picking Rubio and then Flynn in the same draft is really messing with their mojo.

AR will be a marginal role player that bounces around from team to team, finally finding some type of niche in his early 30s, playing 20 minutes a game.

I read somewhere that they are trying to trade Flynn.

He can blossom if he is willing to listen to the coach.

I am not sure that the coach was talking to him here. He certainly wasn't Dan D'Antoni's pet project.

Twolves run a Triangle offense which is pretty intricate. AR won't fit into that very easily, that's my guess.

Remember the hoopla over taking Gallo over Randolph. This is why just drafting the most talented or atheltic guy in the drafts don't always work. Gallo had more substance to him to reach his potential and has been slowly fixing is scouting report weaknesses. While Randolphs scouting report weaknesses have consumed his career so far.
