Daily Basketball hosts the latest edition of the Carnival of the NBA.

Paul Forrester/SI.com talks to Byron Irvin, Gerald Green's agent:

"Look, was he immature in some situations? Of course. He came out of high school; what would anyone expect?" Irvin said. "But he's a good kid. I think [this] has humbled him, and now he realizes he has to fight. But to discount anything he did [in Boston] because he was on bad teams, well, half of the league is filled with bad teams.

Mike Trudell/Timberwolves site and assistant coach Jerry Sichting preview this week's games.

Also at the Wolves site , assistant general manager Rob Babcock discusses the team's scouting process.

From Rick Alonzo/Pioneer Press:

Wolves point guard Sebastian Telfair did some agility drills during this morning’s shootaround. But it’s doubtful Telfair will participate in full-scale practice Thursday. Telfair won’t play Friday at San Antonio, and there are just 11 games remaining after that.

From Charley Walters/Pioneer Press:

The Timberwolves have dispatched most of their basketball front office around the country scouting NCAA tournament games.

That was St. Louis University men's basketball coach Rick Majerus dining in Minneapolis the other day with his former Utah star, Michael Doleac of the Timberwolves.

From Jonathan Feigen/Houston Chronicle:

Kirk Snyder played hard. He played well. He demonstrated that there is a place for him in this league.

But the impact of his performance on Wednesday will go far beyond his play on the floor.

He did something no one has done as well this season.

He hung a nickname on Luis Scola. It's perfect.

"He's like Rambo," Snyder said. "He never backs down from anything. He's so aggressive and he hustles all over the place. I think that nickname is perfect for him. They should start calling him the Rambo Man."

Chris Richard, currently trailing Randy Foye, talks about his NCAA bracket

From Rick Alonzo/Pioneer Press:

Commissioner David Stern got a call recently from an NBA general manager. The conversion involved a revolutionary idea regarding a new playoff format.

Teams would continue to qualify for the playoffs under the current format, with the top eight teams from the Eastern and Western Conferences advancing. But once the playoffs begin, the teams would be seeded one through 16 in order of records.

TWolves Blog Poll

Is Randy Wittman the right coach for this revamped Wolves team?

	Yes, he can effectively lead the Wolves through this rebuilding process.
	Maybe, I'm willing to give him a chance, but I'm not sure how successful he'll be.
	No, the Wolves would be much better off with a different coach.
