Kandi Being Traded? Wolves Say No To Francis Trade

Apparently the real reason the Timberwolves have not been playing Michael Olowokandi is that the center, in his last year of his contract, could be traded very soon.
Wolves owner Glen Taylor strongly hinted at that after Friday night's victory over Denver at Target Center.
"Call me in 72 hours and I will have some news for you," said Taylor, sounding like the deal had been made and will be announced soon.


And despite reports that the Orlando Magic is seeking a trade for recently suspended point guard Steve Francis (the dude refused to play in the 4th quarter of last Wed's game against the Sonics) that would send Szczerbiak and Hassell to Orlando, Twolves owner Glen Taylor says that's not happening.
