    When did the Twolves become so International? Only one starter is from the States.

    Since next to nobody in the states wants to play for them? Well, outside of Kevin Love nobody all that good.

    Here we go again. Morons throwing a fit over a comment, never mind I wasn't actually calling him a racist or that his statement necessarily was. But then again, you are who you are and so is he. Now all is needed would be Bobbles or however you spell his name; to come in here with a grammatically flawless statement.
    So you aren't actually making any statements? I make a comment about the twolves being all white, you make a comment about how stupid it was to point out. You make a comment about not noticing race, while identifying a race. I point out that it is kind of remarkable how the twolves have a different makeup from the other teams in the league. You make a comment about how you aren't a racist inferring that i am. What confuses me is why do you ask questions, if you don't want good responses? Do you want me to make stupid comments, that you can actually argue, because you haven't said anything worthwhile in this whole discussion, including your most recent about no one wanting to play for the Wolves or your copy and paste from some dictionary site.

There were only two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two bunks, so to sleep the other five people meant pissing about with the Transformer-like furniture. If you had family staying, they would have to start getting ready for bed at about 8:30 due to all the messing about that was involved. The settee pulled out to sleep two, a cupboard door with strong hinges folded down and held one person, and then the table we ate at dropped down to make a bed. It was stupid. I’m surprised they didn’t sell it as a ten berth and say you could use the oven as a cot for any kids or midgets in the family."

    He was for like two weeks. He was also an average player and all he is good at is turnover the ball and not finding teammates. We don't need greedy overpriced players besides he doesn't effect the stock market, infact it's at an all-time high now. So if Jeremy wants to leave for a Rockets team with no talent so be it and take his 15 millon. Felton is a better point guard anyways. When he was with Amare he played great and he is losing weight, also he seems he is dedicated to proving he deserves a spot. I will expand on this later.

    Lin didn't want to leave by the way. Knicks just didn't offer him anything and when the Rockets wanted him, they didn't want to match such a contract.

    Those players deserved it unlike Jeremy. Carmelo prior to being traded was considered a top ten player or so, as well as Amare. Carmelo doesn't want Lin back with that contract because he didn't earn that payday.

    Yeah well i'm still mad about that. Our gm for some reason didn't have any regard for signing Lin which is infuriating. All Knicks fans can do is wish Jeremy hardship and hope Felton and Amare pick back up where the left off.

    Apparently the Sacramento Kings could be headed for...Virginia Beach

    Part of me things this could work like Oklahoma City considering that Hampton Roads is actually a large metropolitan area (more or less the same size as the Indianapolis area), and the fact there's minimal competition for any sports in the area (even the major colleges are halfway across the state). Though it's also a very transplated area, and the team who moved in there would more or less be going in blind, considering that the area hasn't even sniffed professional sports in the past.
