Yeah really, not so good for the knicks though... losing Sprewell for Van Horn? I don't like the sound of that at all... but yeah the T wolves are looking hella strong after this, Spre will take lots of pressure off Garnett...

No Doubt...Hopefully this will get KG and the TWolves past the first round this year...Id love to see a rematch with the Lakers in the Western Final...I dont know about that Troy Hudson tho, he played good in the playoffs, but....I dunno?  I think Minnesota needs a PG and they could contend with LA.

how could you say the knicks got the worst?they filled a position that needed to be filled. the hawks already had a good pg in jason terry and t.brandon isnt great or anything

if the knicks can get van horn to be more aggressive they might be able to make it work

thats just the way i see it though

Yeah that's the question,will they be able to get him to play more aggresive? and I doubt they can, he's just to soft...

good deal for the T-Wolves. now with Spree, Garnett, Cassell and Wally, they should be a contender. shouldn't be too much pressure on KG this year like the previous years.

They got Sam Cassel from the Bucks a couple of weeks ago.

Whoa I missed the news on Cassel going to the Wolves, thats huge.  I think TWolves have a legit shot at contending for sure...I can see the rivalry with the lakers now.  Both teams will be great no doubt.  Sprewell, KG, Olawokandi, Cassell, Szerbiak vs. Shaq Malone Payton Kobe....well give it to the lakers right now, but the Wolves will mak it interesting for sure.

this trade is big....wolves have to be considered one of the top 4 teams in the west now...maybe higher...i'd only take sac over them now....they added spreewell, cassell and olowakandi(he can gaurd shaq)...dont be surprised to see them a top the west standings this year
and i dont know what the hell the knicks are thinking....taking on another big long term contract for an underachieving player
