Fuck lion!

I might be able to afford Wolves season tickets on my low-arse salary.

Target Center, here I come!

Can someone explain how they will play 43 home games out of an 82 game season?

82 / 2 = 41...not 43.

Wait, there's an NBA owner who actually LIKES his fans? Are you sure this owner won't convince his good buddy David Stern to rig the lottery so the T-wolves get the 13th pick, and screw over the fans? Is this a devious scheme to trick the Minnesota populace to approve a new $500 million-dollar mega-palace? I'm filled with skepticism here.

If they make a trade to get the first and second pick, you get $43 season tickets and a Timberwolve cheerleader sits in your lap the entire game.

(Not that good a deal, actually. Have you seen those butter-faces up close?)

I agree that this seems entirely backwards. Wouldn't logic indicate that the higher the pick the Wolves get, the more people would be willing to pay for season tickets? This is exactly why I've always said they shouldn't give Mark Madsen front office responsibilities.

@UseTheForceLukeWalton: So how'd he end up with Adriana Lima? She definitely has better ball-handling than him.

Not to be outdone, the Nuggets have announced they will base next year's prices on a multiple of Carmelo Anthony's blood-alcohol level.

The biggest downside to this is you have to be in Minnesota.

Depending on the tie-breakers, it looks like the absolute worst the Pups could do is 7th in the lottery. 43 x 7 = 301. $300 bucks for season tickets, albeit in nosebleed seats isn't that bad, considering they are probably twice that much regularly.

Of all the T'Wolves, you picked Corey Brewer to be the pic associated with this? Big Al Jefferson would like a word with you.

Just wait till they draw the #1 pick, then trade down to get the 10th and 14th and 24th picks and force everyone to pay $48 a game.

Shit, if I lived in Minny it'd be worth it to see all the players I watched on the Celtics last year.

Fortunately, I get to watch the actual Celtics. So no.

Even if someone buys the season tickets, Glen Taylor is still going to insist the ticket-buying public tanked it down the stretch.
