"Well, right now, there’s no question that Brandon Roy has had a better
year and a half, but I wouldn’t gauge anybody’s career on a year and a
half," Wolves vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale said.
"The funny thing is that the reason that we were really a little bit
hesitant on Brandon was the health issue. He had a couple surgeries on
his knees and we were a little bit concerned about his health. The
doctors’ reports weren’t all that great on him. All of a sudden, now,

"I even heard a few cheers when my name was announced," he said. "What’s going on?"

Also from Youngblood:
Center Theo Ratliff, who had surgery on his right knee Dec. 18, is rehabbing the knee in the same Birmingham, Ala., clinic where he had the surgery. The plan is for Ratliff to stay there for the rest of this week, then come back to Minnesota for another evaluation.
