    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span style="font-style: italic">Oct 25</span> - Vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale said he might not be done making moves. If nothing else, the Wolves have to trim at least three players off the roster to meet NBA rules. How McHale will do that remains to be seen. Another trade remains a possibility, along with waiving players and/or buying out contracts.</p>

    The deal gives the Wolves 18 players, and the regular-season roster limit is 15. McHale hinted that at least one of the players acquired in the trade will not be on the roster soon, but he wouldn't elaborate.</p>

    It wouldn't be shocking to see Michael Doleac and/or Wayne Simien not with the team by 5 p.m. Monday, the league's deadline for teams to set their Opening Day rosters. -- <font color="#000000">St. Paul Pioneer Press</font></p>

    [*]Vice President Kevin McHale said he is plotting other moves -- "We have some other stuff we're probably going to do inside this deal," he said -- to reduce the team's current 18-man roster to 15 or fewer by Monday's league deadline.

    On Wednesday afternoon, McHale met with agent Jeff Schwartz to negotiate a contract extension for fourth-year forward Al Jefferson, the centerpiece of the Kevin Garnett trade who is expected to receive a six-year deal worth anywhere from $55 million to nearly $80 million if he signs by a Halloween deadline. -- <font color="#000000">Minneapolis Star Tribune</font></p></div>
