I'm Convinced The Timberwolves are Cursed.

I have been a Timberwolves fan since the day they drafted Kevin Garnett. They seem to always do something really stupid or the ball never rolls their way. These consistent mishaps have made me conclude that the team is cursed. We always miss out on the top players in the draft or make bone head draft decisions. - Forgot to Mention the owner giving the ok for the worst uni's in the league.

Examples:

1. We drafted Ray Allen in 96 to go along with Garnett but decided to trade him for Marbury and also give up a first round pick. Marbury ended up being a jealous head case and was eventually traded.

2. For some unknow reason the owner of the Timberwolves thought it was a good idea to pay Joe Smith 90 million under table, which resulted in us losing 4 first round draft picks after David Stern found out. Joe Smith has never done anything that warranted him getting a third of 90 million in his entire career.

3. We draft Brandon Roy in 06 and traded him for Randy Foye. Foye isn't horrible but he isn't on the same level as Roy.

4. We draft OJ Mayo in 08 and trade him for Kevin Love for some unknow reason even though we have a all star caliber small forward already.

5. 2009 we had the most incompetent draft in the history of the league when we drafted 4 point guards with our 6 picks. The top guard drafted still has played for the team and the best point guard we drafted was traded to Denver. We passed up Steph Curry and Brandon Jennings. This one hurts a lot because of the talented guys we passed up.

6. Whenever we have a chance to get the top pick we always go back in the draft ping pong game and miss out on talented players like Iverson, Shaq, Penny, Webber, Mourning, LJ, Durant, Rose and now this year Wall and Turner. We went from being second in chance to the fourth pick.
