TimberWolves Blockbuster TRADE!!!

The Timberwolves have reportedly traded Antoine Walker, Marko Jaric, Greg Buckner and the rights to O.J. Mayo to the Grizzlies for Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal, Jason Collins and the rights to Kevin Love.

No two GMs have been more maligned in the past year than Minnesota's Kevin McHale and Memphis' Chris Wallace. Some say that they're more responsible for putting the Celtics and Lakers into the Finals than the Celtics and Lakers themselves. So, this trade is a chance for one of them to redeem himself eventually. The question is: Which one will that be?

If McHale is really getting in Kevin Love what he thinks he's getting, the Timberwolves have taken a big step in the right direction, because in Miller, they're getting the best veteran in the deal by far. And Love teams with Al Jefferson to provide a young, talented frontcourt.

But if O.J. Mayo turns out to be a star and Love just a role player, then this deal could be just as bad for the Timberwolves as when they dealt the rights to Brandon Roy to Portland.
For Wallace and the Grizzlies, they've got a lot of young backcourt talent (Mayo, Rudy Gay, Mike Conley), but it's yet to be seen how they fit together.

I'm going to post on this one because I can't stand the other one being in the wrong section, I really hate this trade, but it also gives us a chance to get him in 3 years

3 years?!? I want him now! The Knicks need to make moves, either for him or something/someone that can stimulate some better optimism!

yeah, but theres a low chance on us getting Mayo. Even though I am a big fan of him. There is other players

Mark my words -


"OJ Mayo will be a BUST in the NBA"

Mark my words - "You will be eating those words 10 times over"

This happened the night of the draft, where have you been? Lol

I feel sorry for them, and the people that rather have Kevin Love over O.J. Mayo lmao I don't think Isiah is that stupid! Isiah screwed us up but damn not even my grandmother who knows nothing about b-ball would make a trade like that.
