Man all this bulid up, this is gunna be a great year for the Wolves period. I understand Glenn Taylor's reasoning for not resigning Penney, Glenn is spending a lot of money to keep Kevin happy. Will he even break even this season?
Flip said Troy Hudson and Wally Szczerbiak are expected back around Thanksgiving. That's pretty good, I wish we could get them back sooner though.
Well, some bad news. This from the Star Tribune: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Once aiming for Thanksgiving for a possible activation from the injured list, Wally Szczerbiak and Troy Hudson now won't likely see action until December.</div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Szczerbiak, who finished the last of five shock treatments on his foot more than a week ago, said he has been able to do more on his sore foot in recent days. Hudson's right ankle is still tender. Saunders said Tuesday dealing with injuries has been his biggest challenge this year.</div> Szczerbiak is getting better, that's good news. Hudson will actually come back after Wally now, man, Hudson's injury must be pretty bad.
