Sid, I wish they would have moved..cuz they haven't done anything much since then. What a horrible professional franchise and the worst owner in major sports. How can you continue to validate this franchise/team and it's inept owner? How? Let the go away.Once again just like last year you were saying how great they were going to be. Really? Love can't stay healthy and Rubio is not the same guy. Great future? You guys were all made fools of.

The NBA was better pre-Stern. It's a freak show now.

Stern should have come here to apologize to the people of Minnesota, instead of attempting to drum up support for public subsidies for underperforming sports franchises. What have we gotten for all of the money we've dumped into the Timberwolves so far? How many Stanley Cups have been won at the X? How have the Twins done since moving to Target Field? How many Super Bowls did the Vikings appear in during their Metrodome years?
