Howlin' T-Wolf

For those of you who haven’t heard, Kurt Helin, formerly of the TrueHoop Network blog Forum Blue & Gold, has started ProBasketballTalk for NBC Sports. It is an all encompassing blog covering the entire Association. With a who’s who of bloggers from the Truehoop Network chipping in, John Krolik, Rob Mahoney, and Matt Moore, it’s sure to be worth a daily visit.

Already Kurt’s got some advice for Wolves fans:

Kahn gets that rebuilding is a process, especially since the team committed to Kurt Rambis and the triangle offense. While they have let Flynn break out of it more as the season has gone on, it still remains their core offense, and anyone that has run it will tell you it takes half a season to sort of get used to it. A full season to really grasp it.

The Wolves are getting healthy at the time they are becoming more comfortable with the offense. It’s starting to come together. Maybe they do need to shake up the core, but being patient to see how all these pieces can work together over time is the prudent thing to do. There will be trades that can be made this summer or next year.

Panic-induced, quick-fix trades is how you end up with the Knicks roster. Trust us, Minnesota fans, you don’t want that.
