Wolves Over The Weekend
In regards to the lawsuit filed against him, Eddie Griffin issued a statement apologizing for his actions and claimed that one of the plaintiffs tried unsuccessfully to get an "outrageous sum of money" from him before filing the suit.Griffin also stated that "just because these outrageous allegations have been made, does not make them truthful" and said about the accuser that "one should question his motivation."
Regardless of Griffin's history, I just can't buy anyone fessing up to masturbating and watching porn after hitting a parked car, drunk or not.
Griffin will still be with the Wolves at summer league but Reusse thinks the team should get rid of him.
The Wolves are keeping Bracey Wright on next season's roster.
The team also extended a qualifying offer to restricted free-agent forward Justin Reed, ensuring the team can match any contract offer he receives from other teams.
Marcus Banks' agent on the point guard playing for the team:
"He likes Casey, he likes the players," Higgins said of Banks. "He just thinks they need time to mesh. I think he likes it there. The ball is also in Minnesota's court. Now that they drafted Randy Foye, I don't know what level their interest is going to be."
Reggie Evans , Kenyon Martin, and Lorenzen Wright are some of the players in whom the Wolves are rumored to be interested.
