From David Berri/Wages Of Wins blog – Is Minnesota the Worst NBA Franchise in the History of the League?
Given this history, can we just pencil the T-Wolves in as a very bad
team in 2008-09? The answer appears to be a re-sounding NO! On draft
night McHale did something amazing. In the past McHale had a chance at
Ray Allen, but he chose Stephen Marbury (68.9 career wins for Marbury
vs. 113.1 career wins for Allen). He could have had Brandon Roy (17.2
wins in his first two season) but he chose Randy Foye (3.3 wins in his
first two seasons). In each case McHale chose the flashy player over
the solid player.

guard. But rather then keep the flash, McHale traded Mayo to the
Memphis Grizzlies for the rights to Kevin Love…
