Wolves Updates 7/15
Kevin McHale on why he believes "chemistry is important" in the league now:“Before you didn’t have to really like guys to play with them, but now it seems you have to have that if you want to win, because the overall talent level on individuals is down,” he said. “Now it’s like, ‘I don’t like this guy. I can’t play with him.’ I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life. It’s an interesting time right now.”
The Wolves last summer league game is tonight against the Suns.

Foye believes he's ready for the increased responsibility. The mere question draws a curt response.
