Tom Ziller/Fanhouse on Shaun Livingston:
Minny seems to be putting on the press, though, which is no brainer
for a team rolling with Sebastian Telfair (one of the worst players in
the league last season) and Randy Foye (as two-guard as they come) at
the point. (That Kevin McHale couldn’t pry Kyle Lowry or Javaris
Crittenton from Memphis in the big Mayo-Love deal remains astounding.)
Miami, despite landing one of the steals of the draft in Mario Chalmers
and re-signing, uh, Chris Quinn, has a serious need for stardom there,
as well.

From Hardwood Paroxysm:
But, if Livingston goes to Minny, my head will explode. Al
Jefferson. Kevin Love. Randy Foye. Mike Miller. Mark Madsen, Michael
Doleac, Brian Cardinal. It’s a fricking all-star team of players that I
want to fall into a cyclone of awesome and subsequently take the world
by storm. Who knows what Livingston is capable of at this point, and
most opinions indicate that he’s not going to be able to contribute
much this season. But he has to be at least as good as Sebastian
Telfair, right? If he latches on to the T-Wolves underbelly, it’ll only
be a matter of time before he’s writin’ rhymes with Rashad, getting his
groove on with Mad Dog, and tossing oops to Calvin Booth.

Bijan Bayne/MVN Outsider predicts the Wolves will finish 32-50 this season.
GM Kevin McHale has always had a soft spot for promising young power
forwards named Kevin- now it’s a Love affair, not a Big Ticket. UCLA
one-and-done K-Love joins talented Al Jefferson in the frontcourt.
Sure, they play the same position, but their games differ, and Coach
Randy Wittman may figure a way to pair them on the court. The vaunted
rookie has desire and a jumpshot, in addition to a basketball pedigree
(father Stan played NBA ball in the 1970’s). The questions for this
unit are- will Love have the stamina to endure the long schedule (the
kid was in high school two years ago), will one dimensional Mike Miller
add much, and will McHale regret trading draft night choice O.J. Mayo?
