    And he calls it Minnesota.

    After being waived by the Chicago Bulls Thursday, the former Clarksville High and Austin Peay standout agreed to a one-year guaranteed contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday, worth in the neighborhood of $600,000 to $650,000

    The New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors also showed interest, with the Heat going so far as to call Hassell "the best defending-No. 2 guard in the NBA" according to Cates</div>

    Man, you just beat me by a few minutes I was gonna post this AWESOME NEWS! [​IMG] I mean yeah Hoiberg's D could be underrated, but this guy is a defensive stopper, just what we need on the wings. Great news, really.

    I guess it is good news. I like Hassell, hope he does good for the Wolves. I kind of thought he would end up with us after he left the Bulls.

    From what I have seen of the Bulls on WGN, Hassell looked decent. Nice pickup for the Wolves.
