The 6-7 Carney will give the Timberwolves an athletic swingman who
averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds last year, his second season. The
76ers will throw in reserve forward Calvin Booth and acquired a future
second-round draft pick and Minnesota’s $2.8 million trade exception
gained in a 2007 deal with Miami.

Gomes’ agent said he expects discussions with other teams to extend
into next week. Smith’s agent said Tuesday he is hopeful he will have
an offer sheet from another team to take to the Wolves by the end of
this week. The Wolves then would have seven days to match the offer or
relinquish Smith.

Booth’s agent told the Associated Press his client’s "contract" would
be traded to Minnesota today. That might mean Booth will never wear a
Wolves uniform, and instead, his contract could be either absorbed as a
price paid for the future first-round pick or dealt to another team.

participating are Gophers football coach Tim Brewster, Vikings
linebacker Chad Greenway, former Twins catcher Tim Laudner, former Wild
defenseman Brad Bombardir, Timberwolves executive Fred Hoiberg and
Wolves forward Corey Brewer.
Timberwolves rookie Kevin Love is just 19, but he’s amazingly
glib and there’s little doubt he could become an NBA analyst if he
wants to after he’s through playing.

From Mike Max/WCCO:
Mike Miller, who was just traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, has a brother who is on Steve Alford’s staff at New Mexico.
Holy Angels’ grad Troy Bell played with Miller in Memphis.
"Mike is a good guy, hard worker, great shooter
and I think Minnesota is lucky to have him … Good guy all-around, not
only can he play but got a great personality and he works hard and he’s
definitely a team guy and I think he’ll be great for the Timberwolves,"
said Bell.

The Bobcats made it official that Larry Brown hired his brother, Herb, as an assistant. Reminds me of the nepotism fuss a few years back concerning Bernie Bickerstaff hiring son John-Blair. As it played out, J.B. Bickerstaff was the best assistant on that staff because he outworked just about everyone else in the organization. He was determined to prove he earned his paycheck, and now he’s with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
