<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Coming off a minimum- salary contract and a season that ended prematurely because of wrist surgery, Madsen knew he wouldn't be the first player NBA general managers called when the market for free agents officially opened Friday. To his credit, though, he wasn't the last. In the first 24 hours, Madsen's agent, Arn Tellum, had heard from Atlanta, Houston, Portland and Utah, in addition to the Wolves. More calls likely would come. Rather than a let's-get-this-done pitch, though, teams wanted to express interest in the 6-9 forward, then put him on the back burner while they addressed other needs. </div> <div align="center">Source</div>
