No Trade Announced (Yet)

The trade deadline has come and gone and no announcement has been made. One of the many rumors currently circulating (courtesy of Twolves Central) is that we got an extension til 5pm or 6pm to do some wheeling and dealing with the Bulls.

In the meantime:

Twolves "scout" Rex Chapman is rumored to a candidate for president and general manger of the Phoenix Suns should Bryan Colangelo sign on to a position with the Raptors. Chapman is a former director of basketball operations for the Suns.
Chapman on whether he wants to return to Phoenix:
"Even though Stevie (Nash) and I are the best of friends and I still maintain a home in Phoenix, I'm very happy working with the Timberwolves and (vice president of basketball operations) Kevin McHale and (owner) Glen Taylor," Chapman said in a message.
"They're quality people. We're searching somewhat at the moment, but Kevin Garnett is one of the best players in basketball and we'll get it right.
