Wait....why trade for Ray Allen....didn't they draft him and then traded
him? Another McHale genius move. So we could have had McHale and Allen
and then added someone like Pierce. If they didn't violate league
policy and make so many other stupid trade, this would have been very
possible. Just think what could have been. All the more reason to
throw McHale out of Minnesota and send him back to Celtic land.

You have no way to know "what could have been". That's only pure
speculation and daydreaming on your part.

The reality is that McHale has screwed the Wolves for years, yes...
but to speculate about "what could have been" is a waste of your
time, and ours.

No, that is why I said just THINK what could have been. If people only
posted facts, we wouldn't need to debate or speculate. No reason to
come to these newsgroups. Just pick up a copy of the Strib. I realize
you are probably just trying to test my patience, but as I said before,
kill filter me if you think I am wasting your time.

Again, just think what could have been........

Well, if you want to go down that road of fairy tales (which
I know you already believe in), then just think "what could
have been" if Terrell Brandon didn't have glass knees?
Maybe the Wolves would have been champions if he was
injury free. Or what if Wally Szczerbiak wasn't such a
crybaby and didn't spoil the team chemistry and the
trio of KG-Cassell-Sprewell? Maybe the Wolves could
have won a championship. Or what if KG didn't consistently
disappear on the court once the playoffs started? The Wolves
may have won a championship. Or what if.....etc.

As you can see, it might be fun to play that game and believe
in fairy tales, but it doesn't do anything in regard to the factual
reality of the situation now.

More of a hypotehtical pipedream about the Twins getting
A-Rod for Santana (and A-Rod getting pissed off about it)
than anything rooted in reality.

Anything not rooted in reality is a fantasy. So is a pipe dream.

Another great game last night by the wolves......
