    • The Wolves reached terms with restricted free agent forward Craig Smith on a two-year contract, and he is expected to join the team in Las Vegas today. Smith, a second-round pick in 2006, averaged 9.4 points on 56.3 percent shooting and 4.6 rebounds in 77 games last season.

    • The Wolves have not yet signed restricted free agents Ryan Gomes and Craig Richard and unrestricted free agent Sebastian Telfair.</div>

    Time will tell if this is true or not. I apologize if it is false.

    T-Wolves Agree To Terms With Craig Smith

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Wolves have agreed to terms with restricted free-agent Craig Smith on a two-year contract and the third-year forward is expected to join the franchise's summer-league team in Las Vegas today.

    Smith averaged 9.4 points on 56.3 percent shooting and 4.6 rebounds in 77 games (including 11 starts) last season. He scored a career-high 36 points in a game at Washington last December.

    The Wolves selected Smith, a 6-8 low-post player who grew up in Los Angeles and played at Boston College, in the second round of the 2006 draft.</div>

    I'm an incredibly biased Ryan Gomes fan, so I might be wrong here, but shouldn't Gomes have been more of a priority? I didn't get to see a lot of Minnesota games last year so I don't know how well he fits in.

    I've been a fan of Craig Smith since he was back at BC. I wanted the W's to make a play for him before we drafted Hendrix and signed Turiaf.

    Anyone know how much money Smith is making on this contract?
