Wolves Updates 4/9 E-mail

So I am trying very hard to be optimistic about the Minnesota Timberwolves. I am a big Al Jefferson fan but I am scared that he will be another KG and leave for greener pastures if they don't get the talent to support him.-- Jay Lambert, Chicago Heights, Ill.

First, KG didn't leave; Kevin McHale traded him to his good buddy Danny Ainge -- for Al Jefferson. Second, the Wolves are off to a good start, with Kevin Love and Randy Foye, in surrounding Jefferson with good players. Third, Jefferson's knee, from what I hear, is coming around nicely, and there's hope he'll be back strong next season. Fourth, he's under contract for four more years. They have some time. Solving their point guard dilemma is priority one.



Coach Kevin McHale has praised Miller all season for his selflessness and ability to almost always make the right decisions. Wolves fans have yelled at their televisions all season, trying without success to will Miller to shoot the blessed ball.

"At time, you'd like to see him just rise up and shoot it," McHale said. "The majority of time, he makes the right plays. Mike makes a ton of plays. He rebounds. He plays hard. He does everything you ask him. I couldn't be happier with Mike. There are times I look out there and say, 'I'd rather see you force a couple bad shots than the shots we're taking.' But he's going it the right way..."


From Steve Aschburner/SI.com Kevin McHale on Michael Jordan leaving retirement to play baseball:
"I don't remember exactly what I was thinking, but I'm sure I thought he was silly,'' McHale said. "That's just not how it works. If athletics transferred over, your best basketball player would be your best tennis player, who would be your ... it doesn't. You individually hone skills for your game, which don't translate to any other game. You can be a great, great player in our league and not be able to play football. You can be a great basketball player and be a 20-handicapper in golf. It happens all the time. In fact, I know a lot of those guys in the latter category.''
