Wolves Updates

Minnesota is possibly one of the teams in talks with the Seattle about acquiring forward Reggie Evans. Dwane Casey was former assistant head coach of the Sonics.

Twolves Scout Rex Chapman chewed out KG and Wally after the Sixers game last week, asked why they didn't play better together.
"Since that point," one player said Friday, requesting anonymity, "it was like everyone was walking on eggshells."

Celtics Coach Doc Rivers tells Kandi to get used to the bench:
“What he basically told me was the rotation is pretty much set as to who was going to be playing and whatnot,” said Olowokandi. “It is just a question of me trying to prove myself and I really wouldn’t want it any other way.
“I think I perform a lot better in those situations and that was basically it.”

Garnett on the trade:
"Just because we got a trade doesn't necessarily make us above water, where we're going to start to win games. Everything is in the pudding," he said.
"It's not an easy thing when you lose a teammate. It's not an easy thing when you get a new teammate, because we're still in the process of creating an identity. So maybe this will help us, I don't know. But it remains to be seen."


Fred Hoiberg's first choice, if he decides to play this season after heart surgery, is reuniting with former Wolves coach Flip Saunders in Detroit. The Pistons, though, obviously don't have a huge need for new additions at this point and Hoiberg is thought to be leaning against trying a comeback before next season.
