    No logical reason to get mad at a lottery pick saying he doesn't want to go somewhere

    It's still out of his hands anyway, no problem with him saying he'd prefer not to play there

    If he don't want to play for Minnesota then he can go play in a YMCA league

    I doubt they would have drafted him anyway. Towns is a much better fit then Okafor and his ceiling is way higher.

    I knew he felt like this right after Minnesota won the lottery, it was written all over his face.

    I hope the wolves pick his punk ass now just cause he has no leverage. If they pick him he's not gonna sit out a yr and miss out on millions

    That ? is tripping, Minnesota is about to be on the come up in a few years with the young ? they have. And he could learn from Garnett, too.
    That ? afraid he can't do what he wants. Garnett going to toss his phone in the toilet of he isn't listening to coach before the game speech

    Lol!!!!!!!! Yoooo!!!

    I can see that though

    i still like the Emmanuel Mudiay guy the most, i think he has superstar potential.

    I think Russell is gonna be the star of this draft

    He may be looking towards the future. Kobe is gone after next year. That frees up the 25 mil he would make. Then the cap raises above 100 mil in 2017. The Lakers are going to have roughly 70 million to offer top free agents with legacy, weather, beautiful ? and beaches on their side. Minnesota may have young talent, but they'll never be at a point where you'd call them championship contenders cause the best players aren't going to voluntarily choose to play in wack ass minnesota. He played hard and knows teams are thirsting for him. I'd do everything in my power to force my way to the Lakers too

    Coach K commented on how he will have to work harder in the NBA and push himself on espn radio slightly after the title game. I can see him getting way too laid back no matter where he goes. If the timberwolves pick him he gon be like:

    ...Zach's Mom like, "C'mon...Just keep it together baby."....loooool...

    Wolves building a good thing over there. But being the top pick of the Lakers when kobe is just about done is a cool spot to be in if up to the challenge. If he is really legit he could be the face of the team.

    These rookies gotta alot of nerve man.

    No, whats really sad is how fans/readers dont understand how modern media works

    I think Okafor might. There are rumors that he has his heart set on the Lakers

    If you cant read between the lines on this you're an idiot . Basically its a reporter assuming and just runnin with it bc it sounds believable
