Wolves Updates 9/13
From Bill Simmons:
When that Donaghy thing happened, everyone thought it would dominate
the rest of the NBA's offseason ... then the Celts pulled off the KG
Trade and everyone shifted into 'Wow, the Celtics are good again and KG
finally landed on a good team, this is amazing!' mode. The Donaghy
story only had a weeklong shelf life. David Stern never got enough
credit for forcing Kevin McHale to make that KG deal.

Mike Trudell/Timberwolves site interview Ryan Gomes, one of the players participating in voluntary workouts at the Target Center.
Once it became apparent that Garnett could become a Celtic, Stern said,
the NBA held the release of the 2007-08 regular-season schedule to get
more Boston games on national television. Stern added that the trade,
which was made July 31, would be good for both Boston and Minnesota.
"I like to see stability," Stern said. "But in the collective
bargaining agreement, veterans like KG get to approve where they go. It
was clear to me that it was something he was in favor of at this point.
I think he's paid his dues in this league to be able to have that
option. He's not the first, nor will be the last, future Hall of Famer
to move.

Wolves Updates 9/9
From Steve Bulpett/Boston Herald:
As
for how things will work out, talks with trusted NBA front office
people have actually yielded two distinct schools of thought. It’s
accepted that Al Jefferson [stats] is going to be good, and those who
think Kevin Garnett has a lot of mileage think it’s going to be hard
for the Celts to watch Big Al excel as KG winds down. But most of those
who question the C’s do so because they believe in Gerald Green and his
potential, and they believe the locals gave up an awful lot.
