From Matt Steinmetz/Fanhouse: Five Under-the-Radar Offseason Moves
–Timberwolves sign Ryan Hollins: There is certainly no guarantee Hollins will turn into anything more than a specialist-type. But he’s not a bad three-year gamble at a modest price ($7 million). Hollins needs maturity and so does his game; now he’s got three years and a guarantee to try to get it.
From J.A. Adande/ESPN:
Jackson has been known to beat it before the really bad days come around. He always seems to be gone before the roster purges, leaving behind high expectations but little talent (The Tim Floyd Experience). That could make a guy like Rambis want to stay in Minnesota, where he has a new GM who hired him and has publicly stated the team is not expected to contend soon. NBA jobs don’t get any more low-pressure than that. (And sources said Rambis does not have a clause in his contract that frees him if the Lakers job opens, as some college coaches do for their alma mater or favorites.)
Five years ago Tim Greve received the chance of a lifetime.
As a starter for the state qualifying Annandale High School basketball team, he got to play ball at the Target Center, home of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
It was a momentous occasion for Greve, who’s been a fan most of his life.
This fall he’ll go back to that famous court as an athletic trainer for Minnesota’s National Basketball Association team.
