Wolves Over The Weekend

According to Sid Hartman, while Garnett has been working out "harder than ever this off-season" at the Target Center, Troy Hudson and Marko Jaric are the only two players who haven't been regulars at the arena.

To his credit, though not hanging out at the Target Center, T-Hud has been keeping busy. Someone dropped off a bunch of headbands advertising his label at a hip-hop fest last weekend (see above pic). Hopefully Jaric has an equally good excuse for his absence that involves hanging out in downtown bars.

Along with dutifully noting that KG "expects to have a great year," Hartman also says:
-The Wolves are still interested in free agent Reggie Evans.
-John Thomas is trying to get a spot on the team again after the Nets opted not to have him back.
-The team will be in Mankato for four days of training camp.


The Orlando Sentinel mentions to watch for Randy Wittman "to become head coach with the Timberwolves if Dwane Casey doesn't last."

From the Pioneer Press:
With nearly one-third of the Timberwolves franchise reportedly for sale, there's speculation that at least two of the major sports franchises in the Twin Cities might consider joint ownership groups.
