Still, is Saunders really the answer? I don't get it- as a perpetual lottery team which no FA wants to play for, all the Twolves need is a GM who is good at drafting- that's it! Why does their owner not grasp that?!

I can't believe how many top draft picks they've squandered over the years...

Didn't they draft 2 point guards back to back in the 1st round? LOL, yea that's right, Ricky Rubio at 5 and Jonny Flynn at 6. Talk about all time draft blunders. At least Rubio's panned out, but what a waste of a high lottery pick.

And even worse, he then drafted Ty Lawson IN THE SAME DRAFT, (probably the best PG of the three), and then traded him to the nuggets for a future pick! When you need help at every position and have traded players in order to get an extra draft pick, why the heck do you then draft 3 PG and trade one of them away?!

Wasn't that the offseason they also signed Ramon Sessions? Thought they also drafted another PG later in the draft. Ridiculous.

Yep, but in Kahn's defense that was because he found out Walsh wanted to sign him...

Like the Reverse Batmans of these forums, kicking dirt and bring people down at their highest.


It's not keeping fans grounded. It will feel that way if you're more of a Melo fan than Knicks fan. There are Knicks who I've said deserve more credit than you guys give them.

My take is the franchise has had a long dumb road and Glenn Taylor is a very active owner.

Losing three no. 1 picks in the Joe Smith debacle was awful.

Gm's are not always at fault when you have an owner like that.

No doubt Kahn sucks as well. Losing Love and Rubio last season and Adelman in and out with his wife sick did not help.

Looks to be that Taylor maybe selling a majority stake in the team and should demand that Tayler "flukie" be removed as part of a purchase. The Roy signing was so bizzare only an owner emotionally involved would do such a thing.

That seems to be whats happening. I thought Khan's option for next year was picked up. At least he'll get paid.

Just another incredible game between the Nuggets and Warriors. Every possession feels like a game winner, every single one. Ty Lawson is so incredibly fast it's like you can't believe what you're watching.

This game is Insane To The Membrane!!!!

Denver really needs this game. It is theirs for the taking. I surprised but then again I am not surprise by their defense. Also, if Thompson gets it going in the 4th for GS then never mind.

Denver makin dumb mistakes after another. A few by Randolf, a couple by Brewer, and one from Chandler.

Great steal by Curry. Nice Hustle just like Ty Lawson a few minutes before. They are putting on a show.

George Karl really had a bad game in my opinion. GS did their best to give the game away but still win. If it wasn't for Andre Miller the Denver would be almost out the series. That doesn't matter though, game 4 is a most win for Denver.

Mike Woodson is winning coach of the year folks. I always felt playoffs mattered just a little
