Wolves Updates 7/5
The Star Tribune reports that Randy Foye "signed a multi-year contract with the team Wednesday worth approximately $7.9 million over its first three seasons."Patrick Reusse writes that one of the reasons that John Lucas is going to be in Las Vegas this week is to meet with Eddie Griffin. After being jailed for a few weeks in 2004, Griffin was released into Lucas's custody. The former NBA player had also set up a treatment program for Griffin to help him get sober.
The team is talking to and has meetings scheduled with point guard Mike James and his agent as well as center Lorenzen Wright in Vegas this week. The Wolves have also inquired about Eddie House, Jannero Pargo, Darius Songaila, Jake Voskuhl and Aaron Williams.
Coach Casey tried to get the Wolves to select Gonzaga center J.P. Batista in the second round.
"Batista knows how to play," Casey said. "Even without being able to jump, he blocks people off the boards and rebounds. And he's an outstanding passer."
Batista is on the Wolves summer league roster.
From Sid Hartman:
"This is not church league. This is professional sports," McHale said. "If you don't win, then you shouldn't have the job. If we're not winning, I take it personal. That's my job, for this team to win basketball games. And we don't win, then I'm not doing my job. Then someone else should do my job if I don't."
Ndudi Ebi is on the Celtics summer league roster.
Last season's Wolves lead assistant coach Johnny Davis is a candidate for a job with the Pacers.
