KG Wants to Be a Timberwolf, Says Owner
Plus: Spanoulis says no to the Spurs.
-Glen Taylor, Timberwolves team owner, says that KG loves playing in Minny.
The Timberwolves kept star Kevin Garnett apprised of trade inquiries before the recent NBA draft, but Garnett expressed a preference to remain in Minnesota.
“His preference was that we not trade him,” Wolves owner Glen Taylor said.
(We don’t believe you. You need more people!)
-Desmond Mason, is close to returning to Milwaukee. You see, Yi, it’s not such a bad place.
-Some thoughts on how to fix the sinking ship that is the Miami Heat. Personally, I’d hire SLAM Online reader ‘white hot eboy’. He seems to know the score.
-Vassilis Spanoulis doesn’t want any part of the NBA, and would like San Antonio to release him from his contract.
“He loves (the) Spurs, but he desperately wants to stay in Europe,” Spanoulis’ agent, Miodrag Raznatovic, wrote in an e-mail. “If somebody does not want to play for such a great team, coach and organization as S.A. is, it’s probably clear that he really must stay in Europe. We hope that S.A. will respect his wish.”
(Hey, I’d choose Europe over San Antonio, too.)
-Jesus, I didn’t even realize that Jayson Williams’s manslaughter trial was still going on.

Thanks for the props, Marcel. Between Cheryl and I, we could definitley get a team together that could get them out of the first round. Pat & Randy or Cheryl & Eboy…..hmmm. Cheryl, you got 150 million laying around? If I get my half up we can buy the team out. SLAM as an offical sponsor, Chukaz replacing DJ Irie as the in-arena hype man. Damn, we could do this!

Russ, if I’m going to fantasize why not think in broad, dramatic strokes…like the Heat Dancers consiting of Jessica Beal, Jessica Alba, Rhiannon, Vanessa Minillo, Shakira, Beyonce & Megan Fox. Now, that would be Burning Hot!

Soul Glo, it used to be, but once the Heat changed their playoff slogan to White Hot I changed it too. (due to one of the Slam writers using the new nickname for J Will at that time)
@ Max, you can have J. Biel, because if I’m losing my wife I going under Rhiannon’s umbrella.

Bryant Reeves says:
how to fix the heat: buy out Shaq and make him head of stadium security. Use cap space to get young players. Remind the refs that Wade should average 25 FT a game. Advise Wade that instead of falling down 8 times and getting up 9, he should just avoid falling down all together.

Cheryl says:
I might be in the minority around these parts, Eboy, but I’m thinking the team ought to just give the young bloods some burn and see once and for all if they have the skills to complement Dwyane. I think they should go ahead and sign Posey, unless they can get another shooter who defends (which, they probably can’t because those players are coveted by their teams), and play this hand out. Like I said earlier, this team was embarrassed last season. It might just make them hungrier. Anyway that’s just ASPOV.

white hot eboy says:
Seriously, fixing the Heat and making them viable in the East in and a true contender for the title again, revolves around three things. First and most importantly is how Shaq comes into the season (physically and mentally). If he’s ready to contribute full effort for at least 60-65 games and take pride in the fact that almost all of the media and most NBA fans think he’s finished then that’s a huge step in the direction they need to go. Second, while a new, more athletic, defensive minded point guard is a huge priority, a healthy J-Will is not to far off from the East’s best guards. (Sh*t, the Cavs were in the Finals with Boobie and Eric Snow, come on). So thinking that a new PG is the cure all is fools gold for any Heat fan. And lastly, while D-Wade’s helath is again critical, you can’t go into a season thinking he will be hurt again, so to me getting a Michael Petrius or another similar SF to move into the lineup is big. Athletic, quick perimiter defender who can shoot the three. That’s needed. There is talk of a Artest/Bibby for J Will/Posey/Wright/Doleac trade being talked about by two local sports show’s down here, so if that happens……the East becomes child’s play but I would still love for Riles to sucker someone into taking Toine off their hands.

WeS says:
Steve Francis in Miami might not be such a bad thing. They won with vets that a lot of people had written off. Plus, somebody is going to need to play D Wade until he gets back. Thats a tough guard combo no matter who’s in.
Jul.17 at 2:39 pm
DubsGonDoIt says:
Glen Taylor is a liar. I still see KG getting moved this summer. The Warriors were close to getting as part of the draft night trade with J-Rich. McHale is an idiot and couldn’t get his $hit together. FREE KG!!
Jul.17 at 2:40 pm
white hot eboy says:
Cheryl, when you say young bloods, who are we talking about, Simean, Wright, Quinn and Barron & UD? With D-Wade and that lineup they might win 25 games. Might. Were locked into the Shaq/D-Wade combo until Shaq puts on a badge so we need to work around that for the next 2 years and try to complement what works for us, slow down game when Shaq’s on the floor to control tempo and once Shaq’s on the bench (from fouls or fatigue) let D-Wade freelance. That won us a title, so rinse and repeat.
Jul.17 at 2:43 pm
Cheryl says:
If there’s one thing we should know about Shaq is that he’s prideful and last year bothered him alot. He may not say it in interviews, but he is going to start the season like he did when DW went down in Feb./March. The question becomes how long can he keep that up? I don’t see any difference b/w Posey and Pietrus, except age. Posey is a good defender when he sets his mind to it. Heat fans and the talking heads down here, have to acknowledge that we really don’t have any tradeable pieces that will get us any better player than the ones we’ve got. Franchise might work here, but if JWill is healthy (and I hope he is) will Francis be cool with backing him up? The east is still weak, even with the trades that’ve gone down so far. -ASPOV

Yo, I would be a badazz GM. White hot eboy & Cheryl, if you 2 buy the team, give a playa a call.
Jul.17 at 2:46 pm
Cheryl says:
I’m saying insert Dorrell in the lineup and let him sink or swim. If Simien has the goods, let him develop them off the bench. Can Cook really shoot lights out? Let him give it a shot. I don’t think we have a choice.
Jul.17 at 2:55 pm
Chukaz says:
Oh, and I don’t think that KG want to be in Minny. He probably would like to go to a cool city like L.A, Chi-town, Miami, NY. Would in the world would like to go to Minny, ’cause it’s kinda like Milwakee. (Insert Ichiro quote here)
Jul.17 at 2:56 pm

Chukaz, you don’t want the DJ job? I was thinking you could be a modern-day Chicano Flavor Flav gettin’ the crowd hyped and maybe hook up with a Heat dancer lookin’ to catch feelins! Jessica Alba has that Latino Heat!

@white hot eboy: You know what, I would take the DJ job, but I would play some straight up killa gangsta sh*t. Oh, and Jessica Alba said that she doesn’t consider herself a Latina because she was born in the US to people born in the US, and that’s why I don’t like her (I’d still hit it).
@Jessica Alba: If you are not a Latina, what are you? I mean, you are not white, black, asian, canadian, European. What are you? Are you just simply another b*thch that people want to f*ck.
Jul.17 at 4:02 pm
Ryan Jones says:
I haven’t addressed this guy in a while, but… Chukaz, I’m not sure which part of your previous post is more entertaining: the fact that you typed “@Jessica Alba,” or the fact that you referred to her as a “b*thch,” or that you felt compelled to let us all know that you would, in fact, “still hit it.” It’s like everything that makes you great in one post. Yay for you, my young friend.

I assume you meant to say, “Dear Mr. Jones, thank you so much for visiting my little ‘blog.’ I am humbled by your presence, and humbled more greatly still by how you have blessed my blog with a comment. If it is possible, your standing has only grown in my eyes.” Or something like that.

I don’t think that KG really want to win a title as much as he says he does. I think he would rather make money than win championships. I’m a big KG fan, but I’m starting to feel that he is overrated and underrated at the same time. He is probably the second best all-around player, but at the same time he is not as good as people say he is.

According to Wikipedia, “Supermax” is the name used to describe “control-unit” prisons, or units within prisons, which represent the most secure levels of custody in prison systems. It can also be used to describe Kevin Garnett’s contract, which may be the reason his team struggles to surround him with complementary pieces. Well, that and Joe Smith.

Joe Smith was the first pick for Garnett’s draft wasn’t he? Has he ever been any good? Why the f*ck would Minny want to get him?

White Hot, you probably meant Rihanna. This Rhiannon character is indeed also a songstress, but if you stuck her on the Heat Dancers, there’s a strong possibility the elderly citizens on the team would suffer some kind of seizure. I strongly urge everyone to check out the link below.

Slobadan, I did mean Rhianna. My mind was becoming cloudy thinking of the new Heat dance squad yesterday. My bad!
@Klemperer, I explained this yesterday to another poster, it used to be just whit eboy, but once the Heat changed their playoff slogan to White Hot 2 years ago, I changed it too. (due to one of the Slam writers using the new nickname for J Will at that time) Whit Hot Eboy doesn’t have the same feel. Althouhgh, after this Heat’s playoff performance this year, I’ve contemplated changing it to Burned Out Eboy, Swept by Bulls Eboy (too American Indian sounding) and a handful of other names.
