By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) The Timberwolves young players are apparently very serious about the upcoming season. Ryan Gomes, Al Jefferson,Rashad McCants, Randy Foye, Rodney Carney, Corey Brewer, Chris Richard, Mike Miller, and Sebastian Telfair have been working out on a regular basis in preparation for the upcoming season. Though not actual practices, the players have been going through many of the same drills the team runs during the regular season, including some full court 5-on-5 action. I still miss Ryan Gomes and Big Al. Here is the daily defection to Europe report. German champion Alba Berlin has signed free agent guard Casey Jacobsen, who played for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies last season. Jacobsen averaged two points per game last season with the Grizz...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) The Clippers re-signed unrestricted free-agent center Paul Davis, giving them three players named Davis on their roster. They lured Baron Davis away from the Warriors and signed former Celtic Ricky Davis as a free agent. Maybe they should go to first names on their jerseys instead of last. The only other Davis listed in the NBA.com players list is the Celtics' own Big Baby Davis. The Clipps seem enamored with players named Davis and I wonder what the chances are of the Clippers making a play for Big Baby. Paul Davis averaged 2.5. points and 2.1 rebounds in 22 games with the Clippers last year before a season-ending injury to his right knee Dec. 21.

By David Friedman It was not particularly pretty and--except for a few sensational dunks by LeBron James--it was not particularly exciting but Cleveland played solid defense to earn a 92-84 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. James finished with 30 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds; he sprained his ankle in a 92-87 loss at Boston on Wednesday but seemed to have plenty of spring in his step versus Minnesota. After the game, James said that his ankle is fine, but he soaked both of his feet in a bucket of ice water while he spoke with the media. James banged his right thumb on the rim during one of his dunks, reaggravating an injury from earlier in the season; he joked that he will have to try to not dunk the ball so hard the next time. Al Jefferson led Minnesota with...   [read the full post]

By Atma Brother ONE Rashad McCants could drop 20+ points. Craig Smith could eat up the Warriors' interior and muscle his way for a big double-double. Antoine Walker could turn back the clock for a little shimmy shake and a few treys. Sebastian Telfair could drop double digit dimes. Corey Brewer could go 10-5-5.

By Atma Brother ONE Okay, we all know this should be the easiest win of the year.

By dberri Table One: The Minnesota Timberwolves in 05-06 and 06-07 Of course, as noted in Speeding up Time for Bill Simmons, Garnett has not had much of a supporting cast in Minnesota. So even if he had been his usual self, the Timberwolves would have still missed the playoffs.

Steve Kerr is one of the smartest dudes weve met, so if hes talking to the Timberwolves about a deal for Kevin Garnett, we figure he knows what hes doing.

As far as Minnesota Timberwolves basketball boss Kevin McHale is concerned, any trade talk involving Kevin Garnett so far has been just that talk.
