    Good to see the former clipper back in the league. I think hell be a more stable back up than Anthony Goldwire & kieth Mcleod was. Next question should be is how long will troy be out with his latest injury? I wonder why they didnt call back Goldie?

    I don't think Hudson is injured, but they might want to give him some rest just to make sure. Besides, we could always use a just in case player like him.

    Wasn't he MVP of the CBA Playoffs last year? Might turn out to be a steal. Good choice by Minny.

    Didn't this guy play for the Clipps at one time? I think I remember having him on my roster in an NBA Live game...

    I love Darrick Martin!! He's been out of the league for years and he's a bit old now so I don't know how he'll play....but back in the day, I loved this guy...he played at UCLA, and played with the clippers and the kings. He's a great shooter, but just too undersized to stay in the league for long...

    he looks like hed be a forward or something if u dont see him compared to other players, hes kinda like gary trent, not tall but very muscular and large. i was like "wtf did we get another forward" then they zoomed out and i saw he was like 4 feet tall [​IMG]

    i didnt like when he bricked those two threes real bad, but other then that he looks like a great addition.

    I watched him in the CBA last year and he was clearly the best player. I think that this was a great pickup by the Wolves!

    Closer to the Championship.

    Yea, he has some earlier stints with the Wolves... thats why I think they brought him back. McHale was probably thinking he knew the system enough to where he could give Cassell some valuable resting minutes.

    Personally I do not enjoying seeing the Wolves continue to sign FAs to 10 day contracts and then cut them 10-20 days later. The players do not get a fair chance to get in the flow of the game, and learn how Garnett, Sprewell, ect ect play on the court.
