Can anyone get some details about it?</div> I do. Here's the story from ESPN insider . Minnesota Timberwolves Cash remaining: Mid-level exception Players added: Fred Hoiberg, Troy Hudson Players lost: None Skinny: The Timberwolves shook off that first-round playoff hex and made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals last season. Do they have what it takes to go all the way this year? The only player who may not be returning is starting two guard Trenton Hassell. The Blazers gave him a six-year, $27 million offer sheet that may be too rich for the Wolves' blood. Hassell's defensive intensity will be missed, but his loss shouldn't be a major impediment to the Wolves' quest for the Finals. Still, with so many teams improving in the West, should the Wolves stand completely still? They have their full mid-level exception at their disposal and one very valuable trade asset -- Wally Szczerbiak. The Blazers have been after Wally for a while. A combo of Wally and Michael Olowokandi for Shareef Abdur-Rahim or a combo of Derek Anderson, Vladimir Stepania and a re-signed Darius Miles could help put the team over the top next season. I. personally, don't think that adding Shareef for Wally and Kandi is a good trade for us, but maybe the second trade would be worth while. The only benefit of Adur-rahim is his 14 mil contract comes off the books next summer giving the wolves some cap room to get a decent player.
