Their latest update is my favorite.  Top Ten Timberwolves moments and as a friend, I get to help decide which  moments those are.   Here are my top ten:

10. Draft day trade for Randy Foye.

9. When the team hung a banner for having the best record in the NBA for the month of January.

8. Mispelling Wolves on the Read to Achive poster.

7. Kevin McHale.

6. The run to the Western Conference finals.

5. Stanley Roberts and Oliver Miller.

4. Each time KG punched Wally during practice, because then I knew we had a season.

3. The salad years with Flip.  Win 50 games and get hammered in the first round of the playoffs.

2. Signing Joe Smith and setting the franchise back for, well they’ve never stopped reeling.

1. David Kahn and Ricky Rubio.

There was a glimmer of hope of the impossible happening.  Kahn was working on a deal on the buyout.  Rubio gushed about the Wolves pursuit.  He liked us.  Rubio wanted to be a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Kahn reached an agreement with DKV Joventut.  He did it.  Kahn somehow made those 500,000 stretch and finagle and morph into an attractive buyout.  I wanted to hug Kahn. 

Rubio pulled out.  Rubio turned down the contract offer.  He was going to play in the NBA no matter this coming season. He wants to stay in Spain and play for Barcelona.   He doesn’t feel ready to play in the NBA.   He turned down the Timberwolves offer.  He’s Ricky Rubio; he’s not like anyone else.  He’s flattered by the Wolves and their willingness to stand by him.  He turned down the Timberwolves contract offer.

Rubio has no interest in playing for the Timberwolves.
