Another traumatic night for Timberwolves fans

So, 2008 NBA draft is behind us. At the end of the day we finished with Kevin Love, Pekovic, Mike Miller and two shitty parts which names does not deserve to be spelled... But, let's return to the start of the night and analyse this drat from the beginning.
It started as expected. Rose goes to Chicago and Beasley to Miami. McHale does most logical thing and picks up Mayo. Everybody's happy with this move, but still afraid of potential trade down. Sonics draft Westbrook, and this is great thing for us. He isn't worth #4 in any case. Nothing unexpected happens in next 6 picks, no sign of any trade and we can start celebrating. Mayo is most likely Timberwolf! Portland again makes great job. They aquire Bayless from Indiana, and now their lineup looks very, very scary... Rest of the 1st round picks went more or less as expected, but a few interesting players dropped to 2nd round(CDR, Jordan, Walker, Hardin...). As we had #31 and #34 I've expected to pick either Jordan or Hardin becouse we were soo small at that moment. And then McHale makes stupid moves he's known for...
With #31 he picks Nikola Pekovic. I've watched him many times this season and he surely is a great player, but most likely he'll never come to NBA. He signed huge contract in Greece so there is no reason to go to USA. Shit. But no time to curse McHale, Jordan keeps dropping. Couple minutes later we're again on the clock and Jordan is still available. I'm praying for Jordan and boom! Mr. Genius takes Mario Chalmers. WTF? He's good player but we had no need for 3rd PG, while not having descent big man other than Al. Later, Mario has been traded to Miami for 2 2nd rounders next year. Potentialy great draft for us turned to be only good, with stupid 2nd round decisions. But still, I'm not unhappy. We got Mayo, Sonics screwed it even more than us. No reason to be mad at anyone. And as it was like 5AM, I've went to bed after few picks as I've expected no significant trades will happen... But I was wrong... I was very wrong... :(

As I woke up today, interesting news were waiting for me. Mayo, Jaric, Walker, Buckner traded to Memphis for Love, Miller, Cardinal and Collins. God damit McHale!!! Why do you have to ruin everything! Fuckin' Cardinal and Collins! Undersized Love and stupid Miller for our package?! At least we could get Darko or Crittenton... Fuck this. Fuck McHale. Fuck Love and his outlet pass... I still can't see any logic in this deal, especially that we had Jordan in our hands.
Hopefully this will work out well for us, but we've most likely again traded superstar. We're making same fucking mistake we did with Roy and Allen.
Screw you guys, I'm going home...

And, I've forgot in all this hate, we have new logo:
