<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Mark Madsen is currently owed approximately $7 million on a five-year deal worth $12.1 million that he signed prior to the 2005-06 season, but his yearly number is so small that a better team in need of a high-energy reserve might be willing to take a flier on him. "He's a guy who can go on the court and hustle for you," Troy Hudson said. "He's not going to demand the ball like most players in the league. He's got athletic ability and the spirit to play, so why wouldn't any team in the league want him around?" Madsen feels like he has plenty of basketball left in him but is not going to fight or pout his way out of Minneapolis to reach a more successful franchise. -- Contra Costa Times</div>
