The Ramon Sessions rumor, which has him going to Cleavland for Delonte West, is back.  Thanks to Brian Windhorst, from The Plain Dealer, who posted this earlier today;
According to multiple league sources, the Cavs have entered advanced talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves for guard Ramon Sessions. It is likely a deal will involve Delonte West, who has been shopped by the team for the last several months because his contract is not guaranteed for next season — which makes him an attractive asset.
There is a chance there would be other players involved. One player the Cavs have had [...]

I apologize for the really lame title that is such a  horrible connection to the great Beatles song, but then again, I don’t really care.
No one.  No LeBron, Kobe, Wade or Melo.  No CP3, CB1, or CB4 (which now is Boozer).  Not a single player from the “Redeem Team” will be wearing the USA uniform this summer as part of the FIBA World Championships this August.  Every excuse was given and everyone turned it down.  Even after Managing Director Jerry Colangelo gave the ultimatum: if you don’t play on this team in August, you will not play in the next [...]

Timberwolves GM David Kahn has been fined $50K for comments made about Michael Beasley’s use of marijuana.  Pretty sure that is the first I have typed that word of this blog.  Now I can cross that off the list.
Here is a portion of Kahn’s comments:
“He’s a very young and immature kid who smoked too much marijuana and has told me that he’s not smoking anymore,” Kahn said in he interview, “and I told him that I would trust him as long as that was the case.”
Kahn is one of those guys who has the ability to say things [...]

The Wolves signed free agent Luke Ridnour to a four-year, $16 Million dollar deal this week, and based on quotes from David Kahn, this will not be the last move concerning the point guards.
“It’s not my intent to have three healthy point guards on the roster, and I was very clear with Luke about that,” Kahn said. “I recognize that we have to alleviate the situation.”
Jonny Flynn has been sidelinded with a hip injusry and his status will dictate what Kahn can do.  But the point guard spot is very full right now and why would you want [...]

The Wolves lost their last two Summer League games to Portland 60-67 and then Atlanta, 83-89.  They ended which took their record to 1-4.
I take very little from the over all record and try to look at the production of individuals, because ultimately that is what scouts, coaches, and teammates are watching.  How well does this player compete, what skills, are they a good teammate, etc.  Yeah – you would like to win more, but these games matter only a little bit more then preseason NFL games.
So here is a very quick run-down of what was the Wolves Summer League.

Wes [...]

The rumors on Ramon Sessions have been going on for a while, ever since Luke Ridnour’s name was linked to the Wolves.  And now it seems that newly acquired big-man Kosta Koufos is also in the mix.  Koufos joined the Wolves as part of the Al Jefferson deal.
The rumors seem to be pointing to Cleavland as the likely bidder.  The report was by Chris Tomasson from FanHouse.com.
… sources confirmed a Cleveland Plain Dealer report that Minnesota is shopping guard Ramon Sessions (due $3.96 million next season) and forward Kosta Koufos (due $1.3 million), and the Cavaliers have [...]

In my July 16th post highlighting the ESPN article on Rashad McCants, I wrote that McCants was playing on the Cleavland Cavaliers Summer League team and had to DNPs.  But according to this article from Brian Windhorst from The Plain Dealer, McCants did not show-up to play – literally.
Former lottery pick Rashad McCants was scheduled to join the Cavs for their first summer league practice on Sunday. He did not show up and the team didn’t hear a reason for days. It is now believed McCants didn’t report for personal reasons, but it caught the team [...]

The NBA Summer League has gained a lot of attention in the last few seasons.  As the first chance to see most rookies play against other NBA talent, the Summer League has spun of into it own event.
The Wolves have a combination of players already on the team and those trying to make an NBA team.  The Wolves are 1-2 in their first three games, getting their first win last night against the Memphis Grizzles.
Wayne Ellington, Patrick O’Bryant and Jeremy Pargo have started all three games with Deon Thompson, Wes Johnson, Lazar Haywood, Mo Charles and some mystery person or [...]

The July 26th edition of ESPN The Magazine will feature an article by writer Chris Palmer and it features former Timberwolf, Rashad McCants.  The article gives a very raw look at McCants and there are some interesting quotes by former teammates, coaches and executives.  But the article gives us a clearer view into the double-edged sword that is McCants.  He is talented, works hard, gets a long with most teammates, but he is stubborn, hard-headed and not liked by most executives.

Here is a section for the article which shows what is proabably the view that most people with McCants;
The common [...]

The Wolves did it.  Al Jefferson to the Utah Jazz.  It is really no surprise to anyone who have followed the Wolves and heard the rumblings of the estranged-marriage with Jefferson and Kevin Love.  Not that Love and Jefferson don’t get a long, they just can not play together.  So the Wolves finally moved their best player and the center piece of the Kevin Garnett trade to the Celtics.
Here is a section of the write-up from the AP;
The Timberwolves agreed to send Jefferson to the Jazz for two future first-round draft picks and center Kosta Koufos, the teams [...]
