		<description>Jonny,

Hope you will keep being the Jonny who met the press after bering picked 6th by the Wolves.  You are perfect for Minnesota.  We love hard working no BS winners and leaders.  Think Bobby Jackson (University of Minnesota - final four), Terry Porter, and Sam Mitchell (the player). all guards with big follwings up here.  Your personality is much like Kirby&#039;s (Puckett) and will be a fan favorite in Minnesota.  

Actually Minnesota and upstate New York are very similar in terms of values. So, while the rubio stuff gets settled out, its &quot;Flynn wins again&quot; when you become part of our community - although I doubt you will find the climate like Hawaii, there will be less snow and friendlier people.  Could not be more excited, hard work and determination wins out over prima donnas in this part of the country.</description>

		<description>His back court references sound good in theory, but he is not a basketball strategist or tactician. This is where you would need a coach in the room. His references were dated in the sense that backcourts were not nearly as physically opposing as they are now. Not speaking of strength as much as the combination of physical advantages some guards have on the smaller guards without losing too much on quickness. In the West if the bigger Pg don&#039;t kill  you the Sg will. 

Chauncey and JR vs Rubio and Flynn
Parker and Ginobli
Fish and Kobe
Deron and Brewer/CJ

I guess if the wolves are already comfortable with not winning for a couple of years the more you can put your young guys on the floor it will be greater later (in theory)

I think Flynn is the best Floor general in the draft right now, so the more he gets on the floor now drawing the toughest backcourt assignment the better. He could have a Bobby Jackson type impact. I remember him being put on Kobe while playing the back court with Bibby, but your team has to give major help as bigger guards will go right to the post. 

I don&#039;t care either way. I&#039;m just hyped for The Summer League! Love seeing the new talent and how it translates and grow. Best cases like Dwight who got push around, then was like &quot;damn this&quot;...He built his body up in a matter of 2 months to be ready to average a double double his first year. Incredible. Can&#039;t wait.</description>

		<description>So was Kahn suposed to not draft Rubio? WTF is wrong with you people. we would have sent Kahn packing before the season even started if he passed on rubio. Flynn was the next guy on our list and we knew Rubio might not be here this year from the get go.

We wanted a 2 but Harden and Evans were off the board. Curry can shoot but that kid ill get raped in the league. Anyone remember Reddick? I give the wolves an A for what they did in the draft. Traded the 18th which we had noone worth the 18th on our board for a pick next year top 12 protected, Got the second best shooter in the draft at 28 in Ellington (who is a legit 6&#039;5). What could the wolves have done differently?

I saw let Rubio rot overseas if they wont come here. we made that pick because he could be a very special player and damnit, if he is going to be a bust, I want him to be a bust in a wolves uniform. Dont give me nate robbinson and a draft pick and make me watch the guy we picked for our team becomes the face of the league</description>

&quot;Don’t forget John Elway and Eli Manning too!&quot;

And Kobe too 

I think not playing where your drafted really sucks but all 3 got rings so who knows</description>
