My faith in my Minnesota Timberwolves is deteriorating rapidly:
The Boston Celtics have reportedly made a deal to send Ricky Davis, along with Marcus Banks, Mark Blount, Justin Reed and two future draft picks, to the Minnesota T-Wolves for Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Olowokandi and Dwayne JonesWay to trade your (second) best player for a lunatic (Davis) and one of the worst centers in the league (Blount), who is 'Kandi, only with four times the contract length. I can't tell you how excited I am to have the Marko Jaric-to-Mark Blount combination in place through 2010.
Last week I said 'Kandi for Blount was like trading syphillis for gonorrhea. Instead, they've traded syphillis, along with some healthy cells, for gonorrhea, herpes, cancer, and two STDs to be named later.
UPDATE: Which trade is worse- Kandi for Blount, or Fatah for Hamas?

This team is 3 months away from a decade of rebuilding. We'll be the Golden State Warriors of the midwest. The Washington Wizards of the Western Conference.
Oh my, oh my. What could have been had we kept Stephon Marbury or even had we not made such a stupid "bargain" with Joe Smith.
