The free agent class of 2010 will be no doubt the most star studded free agent class in history. This pretty much is the product of the top 5 of the 2004 NBA Draft being absolutely ridiculous. LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh were all selected in that top 5 and all will be free agents in 2010. To add to this, names such as Michael Redd, Ray Allen, Amare Stoudamire, and others. Teams have already started clearing salary cap room so that they can be able to add a game changer to their team.
Enter the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves are clearly in a rebuilding mode as GM David Kahn has stated. But, it wouldn't hur to add a superstar to our team in order to make the team more marketable. However, this has always been a problem in the past. Even looking at next year's free agent class, I can't see anyone signing with the Wolves.
However, I think we can make this work to get LeBron James to Minnesota. Here's my plan.
- Everybody needs to buy as many Al Jefferson jerseys as they can afford. If a ton of people start buying these jerseys, the revenue flow would start pouring in. Suddenly, a team that is losing money would have a surplus of it...enough to spend on LeBron James.
- Wolves fans need to take the Minnesota Wild approach to games. No matter how bad the team sucks, or the opposing team sucks, we need to pack the Target Center like game 7 of the NBA finals is about to happen. EVERY GAME!!! This would show the strong fan base that LeBron would have in Minnesota.
- We can tell LeBron that he won't have to face Dwight Howard until the NBA finals.
- Tell LeBron that he'll be taking passes from Ricky Rubio. Then once he signs here, trade Rubio for a shitload of players and draft picks because God knows they won't want to sign here once they become free agents! This will hopefully give LeBron a solid supporting cast.
- Tell the salary cap to go to hell. What's David Stern going to do? Take away our draft picks? Oh wait...
- Threaten to move the team somewhere warm, then when LeBron signs, stay in Minnesota.
Yup, I can see it now. LeBron dropping 50 points for the Timberwolves in 2010-11. Oh dream it you dreamers.
