And the media would shout from the heights that the 70's-porn-star savior had come. Oh, that sounded horrible. Anyway, I'll still be fairly concerned if the Wolves end up with Morrison. His only upside, to me, is that he is not Redick. Oh, the Wolves would pee their pants if Morrison fell to 6th. And the media would shout from the heights that the 70’s-porn-star savior had come.

On one hand, the Wolves are really good at picking "promising" players that end up sucking. It seems like Redick could fit this mold....like Laetner. On the other hand, the Wolves seems to generally stay away from players that can actually play a productive role on the floor. Like him or not, Redick did fill a role on the floor for Duke...he actually played his position, at least most of the time. I think it all comes down to the question "Will Redick be good in the NBA?" If he turns out to be good they won't take him; if he turns out to suck he'll be sucking for the Wooves. Of course, no one can answer the basic question at this point...it's more of a self-fulfilling thing. Intriguing prediction.

McHale may need to get some bodyguards. I think KG is more likely to kill someone else rather than himself. McHale may need to get some bodyguards.
