Post by: SaveOD238 on January 18, 2011, 12:24:19 AM: so I looked up Lazar's stats with the T-wolves and I noticed he hasn't played in nearly a month. anyone know why? Is he hurt or just not performing?

Martell Webster came back from injury about a month ago really ending any shot Zar had of getting PT. With Beasley, Webster, Wes Johnson all looking for time at the 3; there just isn't any time for him.

Same reason they drafted 3 pgs in the same draft. David Kahn is a moron.

David Kahn traded for SF Michael Beasley and SF Martell Webster. He also drafted SF Wesley Johnson and SF Lazar Hayward. They can all team up with SF Corey Brewer. Also interesting, the T-wolves have no true SG and despite drafting 3 PGs last year, they brought in PG Luke Ridnour and PG Sebastian Telfair this offseason.

Lazar's best hope is probably to get traded to a team whose GM knows what the hell he's doing.

or Jerry Sichting loves Tom Crean so much that he wanted one of his former players around.

It's funny how every thread, in some form can be a Crean versus Buzz. Kind of like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon

The T-Wolves are a mess, no way Rubio shows up here and Love wants out.
