You want consistency? You got consistency

When Kevin McHale decided to replace Timberwolves Head Coach Dwayne Casey with Randy Wittman, he said he expected the team to play with more consistency. Well McHale has got his wish. The Timberwolves are now a consistently worse team than they were two weeks ago. After going 20-20 under Casey this season, the Wolves are now 2-6 under Wittman after a humiliating 28 points loss to Houston. The Wolves showed lackluster effort and Wittman was forced to bench Mike James - the point guard who McHale threw ridiculous amounts of money to in the off season - and Ricky Davis - the swingman who McHale brought here from Boston in the Wally Sczerbiak trade.

This franchise is a disaster. They have a roster full of overpaid players - some of whom have serious personality defects along with average on the court talent. They have a history of making poor decisions in the draft and an unbalanced roster that is guard heavy. Is trading Garnett the answer? I would be sad to see him leave Minnesota, but there is no evidence that exists that says the Wolves will ever be able to make a deep playoff run while he is still in his prime.
