Wolves Updates 9/15
Sid Hartman thinks the Wolves should pursue Bonzi Wells.Wells made $8 million last season, the final year of his three-year contract. That is a lot of money, but Wolves owner Glen Taylor has a way of working with players who have had problems with other teams. Wells would cost some money but he might be the guy to help turn this franchise around.
The Star Tribune has more info on Brian Sieman, the Wolves new play-by-play voice.
Randy Foye on posing for his first trading card:
"I used to collect baseball, basketball, and football cards," says the kid most likely to be Rookie of the Year, Randy Foye. "I used to have a Michael Jordan rookie card, a Derek Jeter too. I just hope someone gets excited when they get one of my cards."
CBS Sportsline give a very lukewarm preview of the team's season and speculates about the length of Casey's tenure with the Wolves.
That's why insiders expect the Wolves to struggle early in their schedule, and that's why people wonder about Casey's job security past, oh, Thanksgiving. The situation is compounded, too, by the return of Randy Wittman, the longtime Minnesota assistant coach who spent last season in Orlando. Wittman gained head coaching experience in Cleveland in the pre-LeBron James era, so he would be capable of shifting over on the bench.
Along those same lines, the Wolves have also hired veteran NBA assistant Bob Ociepka to the coaching staff.
