    Well I know we would be signing Madsen and Griffin. I didn't think we would be resigning John Thomas, but I guess it's good. We need depth at center and we can sign him for dirty cheap. So resigning all three of these guys is good.

    I expect Griffin and Madsen to return but I don't like keeping Thomas. He is undersized, if we can find a bigger player for the same amount of money, I wouldn't want to keep him. I think we can find better players.

    I hope Mark comes back, but if some team overpays him, you can forget him coming to Minnesota. I hope he and the Wolves can reach an agreement, but he can gets an offer that he can't refuse, he has to do what's best for his family.

    John Thomas is not coming back

    We might get Eddie at a reduced rate if some teams are not that high on him. Eddie was okay. He was on and off a lot this year.

    Madsen - Definately (but he said "we'll see [​IMG] )

    Griffen - Would be a major accomplishment with a full off-season with McHale and Garnett to work on his post play.

    Thomas - Not Sure Yet.
