Wolves Updates 8/15

Click here for a "Which NBA Player Are You?" test.

From the Pioneer Press:
If the Wolves don't end up with either Wright or Evans, John Thomas, a former Timberwolf and Gopher who has been playing with several Wolves in pick-up workouts daily at Target Center, could become a legitimate option.

Look for guard Trenton Hassell to be named a co-captain of the Timberwolves this season, joining Kevin Garnett in that capacity.


CBS Sportsline includes Mike James in a list of free-agent bargains:
James will put the ball in the basket, first and foremost. He'll provide energy and personality, and he'll be a solid mentor for some of Minnesota's younger players. In the fourth quarter, he won't leave Garnett stranded. That alone should translate into a few more victories for the Timberwolves. That means a happier Garnett, which is worth every penny, and then some.


To help entertain yourself during this boring period, you could always audition for the Blue Crew.

City Pages' Pete Scholtes reviews a slew of mixtapes along with "probably the only disc you'll find with both T-Hud and I Self Devine."

HoopsAddict wonders whatever happened to Rex Chapman.
