Cunningham simply might have meant "where's his homies/teammates from last season". Who says he was saying "where's my fellow black players at" :what: the writer kind of twister that sound bite around for his pleasure

-the black civic leaders might want to fall back even though it does look like Minny is trying to sell some tickets this year

It's out of the realm of possibility to think that white fans would want to see white players?

The tone of the article suggest that the Wolves simply rounded up white players just because they're white. If this team ain't doing nothing but getting their asses handed to them night-in and night-out, NOBODY (of any color) is coming to see them. I can see if the T-wolves would've had a buncha bums on their squad but Love, Rubio, AK47, Berea, Ridnour, Amundson, Budinger and Pekovic, are all cats that can contibute on ANY team.

Timberwolves are trying to win, they have a bunch of players that will work hard, with very high IQ, fundamentally sound , suprisingly athletic. :troll:

A lot of those white boys can ball though.

It's not like they're putting together some garbage ass team to make some statement.

Everyone would like to see players that look like them play for their team. More importantly, they want their team to win, which is what all these moves have been based upon.

They don't go crazy over Love, Rubio and Pekovic solely because they're white. They go crazy over Love, Rubio, and Pekovic because they've been the only draft picks to date that haven't disappointed. All these other moves have a rhyme and reason to them that don't affect the box office in the least, unless Terrell really thinks fans pay good money to see Lou Amundson and Chase Budinger.

"Every decision we've made here has been intended to make the team as good as can be, as quickly as can be.''

This Kahn quote sums up why the article is ridiculous.

Ain't shyt wrong with the article...the fact that the wolves are the whitest nba in like 30 years is intriguing...but its not like this is some damning accusatory hit piece...presented the facts as they were

Ron Edwards, a longtime Minneapolis civil rights advocate, said he remembers a day last winter when he was watching the Wolves and the only black player on the floor was Wes Johnson, a situation he calls "somewhat disturbing."

I found it disturbing to watch Wes Johnson on the court too.
