More than you I'm gathering.<BR/><BR/>I think Mayo will be a very good player, possibly an All-Star, and definitely the best player in this trade. However, the Wolves got the 2nd and 3rd best players and unloaded the very same shit contract of Marko Jaric I told you was unmovable last night. Granted they took back the nearly as shit contract of Brian Cardinal, but better to have a shorter shit contract of a big man than the redundancy of Jaric. Of course the downside is that the Timberwolves have the potential to be the worst defensive team in the league if they put Jefferson, Love, and Miller on the floor at once. They better figure out how to rebound from a zone D quickly.<BR/><BR/>The biggest reason I can get behind this deal is because I think Love actually wants to be a Timberwolf. I think at best Mayo was a rental assassin who probably would have done his time in MSP and leave via FA ASAFP. He came to USC to get LA exposure and become a household name. My feeling is that he wasn't going to be happy in MN. <BR/><BR/>KASAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
