Wolves Updates 4/19

Ryan at Hoops Addict compiled an extensive list of playoff predictions from various hoops writers and bloggers.
 
 
 
After the Timberwolves’ season finale victory over Milwaukee on Wednesday night, the Wolves’ Al Jefferson opened his Cadillac Escalade, left unlocked with other players’ cars inside Target Center, to find it loaded with plastic foam packing peanuts. No word on the prankster. 
 
 
 
From Stop-n-Pop/Canis Hoopus: Kevin McHale is a Colossal Clown 
 
 
 
Still, my sense is that Foye has better potential than McCants. For one
thing, though he does seem a little stubborn at times, he doesn’t
really display Shaddy’s petulance. I could easily see that stubbornness
and pride morph into a kind of leadership as it has for Lord Chauncey
(for the record, Foye mentioned after the game that Mr. Billups is one
of the players he loves to watch and learn from–a good sign, I think)
And whereas Foye shows signs of climbing the steep learning curve of
running a team (and Wittman made the good point that, after his injury,
Foye was playing major catch-up in learning the offense), I’m not sure
Rashad is ever going to get much better than he is right now. Will
McCants ever be ok with the sixth-man tag the team seems intent on
pegging on him? I’d be surprised.
 
 
 
Gregg Swedberg, vice president of programming for Clear Channel Minneapolis, confirmed Friday that his company is in the "initial discussion period" with the Wolves about putting the team’s games on FM talk-station KTLK (100.3) in 2008-09.
 
"It would be the best signal they’ve been on in terms of availability
to hear it," Swedberg said. "We would have to work some money issues
out and figure out clearance. We’ve discussed it but I would say it’s
not imminent."
 
 
 
Fred Hoiberg has been through a lot in his days – NBA drafts, zone defenses and a heart condition that threatened his life.
 
The Minnesota Timberwolves assistant general manager and former NBA
player spoke on campus Thursday night, discussing his career and the
health problems that ended it.
