With all the posts on this site about the Twins, I thought I'd write one about the Timberwolves.

 I’m sort of a fairweather professional basketball fan. During football season, I’m all about the NFL. But I’ll watch an NBA game or two when there’s nothing else on. By the time football is completely over, I’ll get a little more interested in the NBA. By the time the playoffs come, I’m ready to tune in for most of the games.

But I’ve been a little more interested in the sport of late, because of all the trade speculation surrounding Allen Iverson.

My main allegiances lie with the San Antonio Spurs because I like watching fundamental basketball played by smart, team-oriented players. But I guess I could call myself a fan of the Timberwolves as well. I like Kevin Garnett – he seems like a good guy – and I want him to win a championship. So when Iverson was linked to the Wolves, I was interested. The fact that about half the reports I read or hear say Minnesota would be a perfect fit for him made me even more interested.

As a casual fan, I don’t know how to feel about the possibility of Iverson becoming a Timberwolf. As much as I’d like to see KG get his ring – and I’m guessing Iverson could at least help with that – I don’t know how I’d feel about a known ballhog and me-first player being on a team that wants my support.

I know there are people out there with a little more stake in this team than I have. What do you think about a possible trade?
