If you look at the four teams remaing in the playoffs right now they are all over the cap. And they all built their teams by trading away young talent for a proven star (Garnett, Carter Richardson, Gasol). That was a problem for the Wolves because they never had young talent. Partly because of the Joe Smith debacle you referenced and partly due to a lack of draft success. David Stern will be pushing for a hard-cap with the renewed CBA and I am all in favor of the idea. The way things are right now the only teams able to compete for the title are those that can afford to pay the luxury tax. Sorry this comment got so long. I'm just very passionate when it comes to the game and even more so about the Wolves. Here’s the thing Daniel.

I will give you the fact that Hudson and Jaric's contracts were bad, but they were also after KG $126M contract. And the Wolves were scrambling to sign anyone who looked like the could keep KG in MN. You are absolutely right about poor drafting, and don't forget the Joe Smith situation. Thanks for the comment Kevin.
