After tonight, the Wolves play LeBron and Cleveland on Wednesday, Houston Saturday and at San Antonio next Tuesday. They could go 0-for-December if they don’t win, say, at New York the day after Christmas or beat Memphis at home on the 29th.

From Bradley Campbell/City Pages: Hey Kevin Love, put some Oregon back in your game


One ray of hope from the Minnesota Timberwolves is that they position themselves so that this offseason they can be aggressive on what they think will be a very good free agent market, and they are well under the salary cap.

The bad news, in 2010 the NBA's labor agreement comes up and there's talk that given the state of the economy and declining game attendance that there could be another work stoppage; although that could be seen as good news to the Timberwolves.

No doubt that the sentiment with many in the Minnesota Timberwolves organization is that Rashad McCants is the first player they would like to trade.

 

Before the Wolves can entice any top free agent, they know they have to improve the product on the court to the point they are considered a team worth joining.
"I think that's very important," Stack said. "I think markets can get a little bit overrated. The top players want to go to a city where they can win. We're in a position to add not one but two high-level max free agents to a core that hopefully is going to continue to grow. As we move along, we want to get the team playing better, have a good draft and look at free agency even this year. I think that's going to put us in really good position to get this team moving in a good direction to where we could start competing for championships in 2010."


Troy Young/Timberwolves site on Sebastian Telfair:
“What we’re looking for is dependable contributors,” McHale said. “We really feel Sebastian can be a dependable contributor to our team. ‘Bassy’ and I had a lot of talks about how much he thinks he should play and what he should do and shouldn’t do on the floor. I keep on telling him that if you keep putting your hand on the hot burner, you’re going to get burned and you’re going to quit putting it on there. Sebastian turned the corner a few times where there was nowhere to go. I said ‘hey, you have to know where you are driving.’”
