    Mark Madsen
    Derrick Coleman
    Tyrone Hill.

    Imagine if they get DC..hill wouldn't be a bad pick-up either..madsen would be there for hussle,and working hard..and going after loose balls

    funny quote from mchale

    "The first one we hear from will get the deal,'' McHale said.

    I would never sign Mark Madsen, even if he was willing to take 5 dollars

    Sure the addition of Coleman sounds nice, but you have to think long-term on that decision. He is an old veteran, that will not play much more than 2-3 more seasons. I hope that they do not acquire him, I want Philly to go after him, or even better Clark.

    Coleman or Hill would be nice, but no Madsen.

    The time for the Wolves to win is NOW! Cassell and Sprewell are veterans. Even KG is. KG/Kandi/Wally will be around for several more years, but Cassell and Spree might only have another 4-5. Coleman, if signed, is exactly what they need: a veteran big man.

    He can rebound, score(which will be needed in the 2nd unit), and defend. He played Center for the 76ers, and would be the backup Center here.

    Even if he is gone after 3 years, its still a good signing. Like I said, the time for the Wolves to win is now. Coleman would be the best addition for now, and the next couple of years.

    The Wolves are also looking at my favorite available player, Jumaine Jones. I think he would be a great addition and would fit in with us right away.

    Coleman would be good. Not Hill tho hes not that good now. Madson is a tough player. Coleman should be the Number one choice.

    What?!?!

    This is the NBA. You win by having talent. You dont just leave FAs out there for other teams to sign just bec. you think you have had a good offseason. You try to get whats best for your team. Minnesota could use a backup PF/C now that Jackson is gone. Coleman fits that bill.

    What an absurd post!
