The T-Wolves are talking to ex-Kings coach Reggie Theus about an assistant coaching job on Kurt Rambis' staff, sources tell Y! Sports.



The worst-case scenario for the Timberwolves is that Rubio would wind up playing overseas for two seasons, let his contract end, and then come to the NBA free and clear.

Understandably, Kahn doesn't want to wait that long, and if he has anything to say about it, Rubio will be a member of the Timberwolves when the 2009-2010 NBA season kicks off. A source close to the situation tells HOOPSWORLD we should expect an announcement from Minnesota in the next few days.




Actually, Favre shares the No. 1 spot on the Business Journal’s exclusive 2009 Top 25 Highest-Paid Athletes list with Minnesota Timberwolves forward-center Al Jefferson. They’ll each make $12 million during their upcoming seasons.

Rounding out the top five on this year’s list were three Minnesota Twins stars: first baseman Justin Morneau ($11.6 million), closer Joe Nathan ($11.25 million) and catcher Joe Mauer ($10.5 million).

Minnesota Wild defenseman Marek Zidlicky took the 25th and final spot on the list. He’ll take home a salary of $3.35 million for the 2009-10 season.

The Timberwolves and Wild tied for having the most players on the list, with seven players each. The Vikings had six and the Twins had five.

— Cole Aldrich, the 6-foot-11 former Bloomington Jefferson star who is a junior at Kansas, is among candidates for the John Wooden Award, for college basketball's best player. Aldrich is expected to be a top-five pick in next year's NBA draft and highly sought by the Timberwolves.




From Steve Aschburner/SI.com: Memorable Metrodome moments
• Playing their inaugural NBA season in the Dome, the expansion Minnesota Timberwolves took advantage of the novelty and the vast stands to lure 1,072,572 customers to their games, a single-season attendance record that stands.
