Wolves Updates 12/12

Mad Dog says "it was a great day" because of the news that the league is reverting to the leather balls and because of the following:
...the NBA is going to form a committee including a wide range of NBA players getting a cross-section of superstars and role players to be part of any ball decisions in the future. I think what the league is saying is that if we do away with the leather ball down the road, let's work together to find a solution that works for everyone. Michael asked me to approach Kevin Garnett to see if he would like to play a major role on the committee.

Madsen also remarks on the unresolved Iverson situation:
This morning in our locker room, we were all kind of aware that if the longshot odds come true and A.I. comes to Minnesota then some of us might be packing our bags.
