Comments on: Timberwolves about to sign J.J. Barea to four-year deal http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/12/timberwolves-about-to-sign-j-j-barea-to-four-year-deal/ Basketball - NBC Sports Thu, 23 May 2013 23:44:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Josh Perez http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/12/timberwolves-about-to-sign-j-j-barea-to-four-year-deal/comment-page-1/#comment-62019 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:43:38 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=36363#comment-62019 It doesn’t make freaking sense. If it was up to me I would eliminate exemption and say “you have 58 millions, make sure your roster is at least 12, spend them well”.

If Rubio turns out as good as Kahn and company feel he is then they will do whatever they can to make him not want to leave.

Also lets spare some time for the point guard jokes. We now have Rubio, Barea, and Ridnour. We will likely look to trade Ridnour at this point.

Reportly Adelman has more say than Kahn.

Although Barea is obviously from a different country and culture, his presence will still ease Rubio’s transition to the states.

After letting chandler go, I thought he was going to be the one person Dallas would keep. I always liked that guy! He played a major part and they come at him with a deal like that. Can’t blame him for going elsewhere.

I’m not going to rip Kahn for signing a guy who should bolster the 2nd unit. I’m not sure if this means Ridnour is on the block, but the Wolves definitely need some kind of trade to thin out their roster at the 1-3.

Khan has struck again. Stern should veto this trade just to save the wolves from themselves.

Can someone explain it?
