Dear Minnesota Timberwolves - Plz be kewler.  Thx.

Last year, right around this time, the Minnesota Timberwolves opted for Kevin Ollie over Blake Ahearn.  I think we all know how that worked out (it didn't).

Well, thanks to the wonderful people over at Black Heart, Gold Pants, there's reason to hate the Wolves again/still.  And I quote:

The particularly prickish aspect of this all is that Reiner was just two days away from playing an exhibition with the T-Wolves in Sioux Falls, home of his successful [D-League] career and a hour's drive away from his hometown of Mitchell. Really, Minnesota? You couldn't work in a couple more days for the Bighorn Chief? You're all bastard people, Timberwolves! That's what you are! You're just bastard people! And I'm going home and I'm gonna... I'm gonna bite my pillow, is what I'm gonna do! Wait, I am home. Whoops.

Yes, Jared Reiner was cut so they could continue to let the rottong corpse/contract of Brian Cardinal chill on the bench/do whatever he does.

They just acquired Nate Jawai

And I assume are going to keep him for at least a little while, because why else would you trade for a guy this close to the end of training camp.

And gave up a draft pick

Is Jawai that much better than Reiner?
Note: I’m not in love with either.

Jawai's slightly better on offense

his eFG and TS percentages are both a fair amount better than Reiner. Reiner doesn’t foul or turn the ball over as much, and he’s a marginally better rebounder. But other than that their numbers are pretty close.
