Britt Robson/On The Ball with thoughts and predictions on the season.
Stephen Litel/Hoopsworld interviews Theo Ratliff and Sebastian Telfair.
Kent Youngblood/Star Tribune on Marko Jaric:

Denver coach George Karl on KG:
"I was sad when Gary Payton left Seattle," he said. "There are certain guys who should die and live in the city [they start with]. … I’m happy that Kevin will have a chance to get back into the playoffs. But my thought is he should be in Minnesota."
"They have a good start there," Iverson said. "They have Al Jefferson,
a guy who can play, guys who can make things happen on the basketball
court. I think the sky’s the limit for them."

From Kare 11:
KARE 11 conducted a highly unscientific poll and found none of our interviewees could name even one of the Timberwolves players.
"Well I did know Kevin Garnett, but he’s gone," said Myra Curry, in an
answer that resembled at least half a dozen other responses.
