David Kahn… A GM Ahead of the Curve? Or A Bonehead That Completely Screwed Up. Oh, Wait, That One’s Already Been Answered

What’s this? You mean all the people who questioned what the heck David Kahn was doing when he drafted two point guards back to back and signing a third in free agency, might end up eating crow??? Imagine that. In fact if the Wolves were to, gasp, win the lottery and the John Wall jackpot, they would all of sudden find themselves fully cornering the market on young point guards.

Hopefully now you have a better idea of why David Kahn is all about acquiring “assets” in the early stages of building a contender out of our beloved T-Wolves. It may not fill a need now or help them get a W tomorrow night, but they have a very good chance of paying off quite well for the team in the future.

I love Howlin’ T-Wolf. I do.

But this is madness. Did he “stock up” on point guards, or did he take a lower value point guard who’s only been mediocre this season (and that’s with an astronomical usage rate) first, and then gamble on a kid who obviously didn’t want to go to their team, resulting in only getting .75 of a point guard, while Tyreke Evans (who was already go gone but c’mon, you don’t think the Kings would have taken the 4th and 5th for the 2 and a player?) and Brandon Jennings, and Ty Lawson, and Eric Maynor, and Jeff Teague all reveal themselves to be excellent picks and hey! They actually PLAY IN THIS COUNTRY.

What, the Wolves are stocked at point guard? All that means for them is they have three middling assets (because they’re screwing up Sessions) they can’t do anything with and the ability to pursue what this year? More forwards? They have Al Jefferson and Kevin Love for God’s sake!

If the Wolves were smart, they would trade all of those prospects to get the first overall pick and take Wall. Because he’s going to be infinitely better than all the “assets” they’ve managed to acquire.

Yeesh.
