Wolves Updates 7/19

There's a "Mike James Official Premiere Party" on Thursday night. For $10, you can hang out for hours on end before James makes what is sure to be a very brief appearance. I do have to give him credit for being smart enough to figure out a way to make money off of people before the season even starts.

A link to a German Timberwolves blog. I can't understand a word but it looks cool.

Just one more stop on the KG Tour.


From Marc Stein/ESPN:
Dallas and Minnesota are on the short list of teams that have considered gambling on the remaining five years and $72 million left on (Kenyon) Martin's contract...

Sources say that Hassell is actually the one midpriced Minnesota player the Raptors would have considered for James but that the Wolves were unwilling to move him. Minnesota thus was forced to use its $5.2 million midlevel exception to sign James, landing him with a four-year deal worth $23.5 million.
