<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "twolvefan11":</div><div class="quote_post">they needed to clear room for payton, and with peeler having an option this year, they will probably release him and take the money. joe is descent, and i think he will do better in the eastern conference</div>
they gotta be crazy to think Payton's gonna stay

apparently they are, thats what you get for having jordan in the front office

 

mourning is considering signing with the timberwolves and will meet with their representatives this week, Saint Paul Pioneer Press reports. the t-wolves would use their $4.7 million midlevel salary exception to sign him. he becomes a free agent on july 1.

i don't know if people have posted on this or not (if so, my apologies). but what do you all think about that and does it foreshadow rasho moving on.

 

If he stays heathly..great signing...

 

i wouldnt mind it either, but im still wondering about Rasho........does that mean he will be gone?

 

Yeah he will sign for the knicks most likely...

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">Yeah he will sign for the knicks most likely...</div>

eastern conference? he will probably turn into an all star :?

 

Nah..he wouldn't make it in the east either....he is a soild player but not an allstar..doesn't have the stats or flash..

 

most people think rasho's leaving

if we sign zo, he probably will

 

good news, we might be able to have garnett take a pay cut and resign with the team

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Don't think franchise player Kevin Garnett wasn't kept apprised of the trade talks with the Milwaukee Bucks that brought Sam Cassell and Ervin Johnson to the Wolves. Garnett, whom the Wolves are trying to sign to a contract extension, was pleased with the trade. Johnson will provide insurance if Wolves free-agent center Rasho Nesterovic departs. Rasho is expected to get an $8 million-per-year deal, either from the Wolves or another team.</div>

 

knicks can sign rash for 4.9 exeption for 6 years so if twolves want him they might have to offer him 5 mill for 7 years

i think if rasho goes, we might try to sign ZO. im not sure though

i think he'll wanna leave even if Zo doesn't sign. he's much better suited for the Eastern conference. he could help plenty of teams over there

no, i think the twolves would offer him the exception if Zo doesnt come. he would do better in the eastern conference, but if he gets paid more than our exception, he will be overpaid.

 

hes leavin... whether or not we sign Zo... he wanted to leave before but McHale wouldnt let him... Hes prolly going to end up in NY...

 

Kirk Penny, undrafted thursday, will join the Wolves for training camp. He was a leader on two Big Ten champions and played for NZ in the World Championships.

ok, the mavs are after ZO, do you think he would want to sign with us for $200K less than the mavs? i think he would be a good fit for us
