Wolves Updates 11-30 Part 2 E-mail

Sources indicate that the Timberwolves are trying to trade shooting guard Rashad McCants after he has fallen out of the rotation as of late. The Timberwolves have had discussions with the Bobcats about a trade that would send the former UNC star back to North Carolina where he is a fan favorite.


The Greek tragedy that is Rashad McCants's tenure as the savior and/or enfant terrible of the Wolves' offense feels like it is headed for its climactic act..Tonight he got two brief stints: A 2:53 stretch in the second quarter when he immediately turned the ball over on a lazy pass and then shot on airball on a jumper from the corner; and a 2:58 run at the end of the third where he stole the ball from Billups and went two-man with Gomes down for a layup, then nailed a trey near the end of the quarter. Back in his sweats on the sideline as his teammates began preparing for the 4th quarter down 17, he erupted with an angry, hurt, howling scream that made a few people around him, including some teammates, jump.


The Timberwolves are now 4-11 which, considering their apocalyptic start, is actually kind of a relief. They're plainly a bad team, cursed with deficits in both talent and luck, but, for now at least, I think they've succeeded in separating themselves from that most wretched very bottom tier of the Association...


As a result Big Al, who at the age of 23 is also still Young Al, is attempting to use Pierce’s example as his guide.

Jefferson now refers to himself as a leader, and truly hopes that the label sticks.

“I learned a lot from Paul, man,” he said. “He taught me an awful lot about how to stay positive when something like this happens.”

Jefferson isn’t just tossing a bouquet in the direction of his former captain.

He once dressed next to Mark Blount, one of the more bizarre, mercurial characters in recent Celtics history. By the time Blount was shipped to Minnesota as part of a big trade for Wally Szczerbiak, Jefferson had enough. He talked of how grateful he was not to be dressing next to such a negative influence anymore.


Now that Sweetwater Jones presumably has been clubbed over the head and dumped in a swamp somewhere near East Peazick, the Timberwolves have built their latest advertising campaign around a fictional 1970s-ish sportscaster named Don Overbeck.

For you kids, he's apparently a conglomerative spoof of such deceased television personalities as Howard Cossell (real) and Ted Baxter (frighteningly real), but the television and radio spots beg a couple of extremely important questions:

Are they supposed to be funny?
