The Wolves On Vin Baker
"This team is a perfect fit," said Baker, whose free-agent signing was announced Monday.During the team's media day, Baker said it would help that he has pre-existing relationships with all-star Kevin Garnett, vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale, coach Dwane Casey, and veterans Ricky Davis and Mark Blount.
On signing Vin Baker-
Garnett:
"The potential is there," Garnett said. "I'm excited."
Coach Casey:
''He brings experience. He knows how to play. He knows where he is, in his career,” Casey said. ''I know his issues, I know his disease. But the core of Vin Baker is a good person.”
McHale:
"Vinnie's a good kid, and I'm looking forward to having him here," McHale said. "When you sit and talk to him and look in his eyes, Vinnie's really had a long journey in our league, and it all hasn't been paved in gold.
"It's up to you as an individual to hopefully make the right decisions. He's been doing that for a while now, and now it's a matter of maintaining it."
