Gomes’ agent on player’s status

Wolves forward Ryan Gomes’ first child, a girl named Ryelle, was born
last Wednesday. Now, the restricted free agent is awaiting a new
contract, with the Wolves or elsewhere. Gomes’ agent said he doesn’t
expect a deal will be reached with any team until what he calls “first
tier” of free agents — Gilbert Arenas, Elton Brand, Baron Davis, etc. —
sign.
 
“Numerous teams have called,” agent Bob Myers said. “The teams that
have available cap space are very few. They all like him; it’s all
about finding a number they like him at. Minnesota is committed to
keeping him. I hope we can find a fair deal for both sides.”
