It may seem sometimes that New York Vinnie enjoys pointing out when NBA Teams mess up. To be honest New York Vinnie derives no Frickin pleasure telling you that the Emperor has no Frickin clothes! However somebody has to do this and most members of the Frickin Media are too afraid of being deemed politically incorrect to tell you the Frickin truth. As you have found out though New York Vinnie is not afraid to ruffle some Frickin feathers and to tell You exactly how it is! 

One team that has supplied New York Vinnie with plenty of Frickin material is the Minnesota Timberwolves. And with the start of a new Frickin week we have a new Frickin story out of the team that is the NBA version of Upper Slobovia! The “Associated Press” is reporting that Minnesota Team President David Kahn is admitting what any body with half a Frickin brain figured out long ago. Most likely the player that the T-Wolves picked with the number five pick in the NBA Draft Ricky Rubio will not play for his team this season. In fact maybe not next season either!

Kahn was asked by reporters the latest developments in the Rubio situation. Rubio is currently under contract to DKV Joventut Badalona a Spanish team in the Euro-League. In order for Rubio to be able to play in the NBA the next two seasons he would have to buy out his contract with the Spanish team.

Kahn told reporters “The buyout amount is a very steep amount. Unfortunately for us, the Timberwolves, we have to play this with one hand tied behind our back. I believe his representatives are working diligently to get a solution. I have no idea at this point whether a solution can be reached. But I believe we kind of know what the parameters are and I think that we have a chance. But I wouldn’t even begin to state the percentage toward that chance of this being accomplished this season versus next season or even two seasons. It’s still very problematic.”

If New York Vinnie was a fan of the Timberwolves he would be spitting bullets right now! Didn’t these Puds realize this was the Frickin case when they wasted their Frickin draft pick? What kind of morons on a team that went 24-58 this past season would simply flush their Frickin draft pick down the sewer at least for this season? Even more importantly how can this Frickin imbecile still have a Frickin job?

But this Frickin Half-Wit Kahn does not think this is really too much of a problem. This Mental Giant does not think it is that big an issue that Rubio will not be playing on his sorry team this season. In fact Einstein told reporters that he can “think of a lot worse things than we have to wait a year or two.”

This is who that wonderfully wise owner of the Timberwolves Glen Taylor picked to lead his team to glory. So far New York Vinnie has not been impressed. This Kahn character seems like a Frickin screw-up so far in his position running the Timberwolves. If he turns this team around New York Vinnie will owe him a big apology. However I do not think I will be writing it any time soon!
