The second year in the franchise's history that they lead the league in losses. The last time was the infamous year that Shaq came into the league. That year lives in infamy because as many know, the Wolves were the lottery leaders that year and the Magic recieved the coveted #1 pick and, of course, Shaq. As far as cursed franchises go, the Wolves no doubt are up there at the top. Glen Taylor seems gracious enough to the good people of the state, and I've heard no talk about relocating - just a 100 million boost to the Target Center. I'm thinking with a real-deal centerman, with Love, Beasley and some of the promising looking young talent they have they could improve immensely next year.
As far as Rubio, I've given up holding my breath on him. Even though there is talk he might be coming to town, the fact that he's averaging a paltry 4 points (give or take) a game in Europe is pretty sad. I understand at his position it's more about "quarterbacking," but really the lack of scoring worries me.
Oh, and local sports writers are calling for Rambis' head.

I think this is inevitable. David Kahn (the shmuck who oversaw the Rubio mess) should no doubt be out of there.
