UCLA’s Jrue Holliday and Syracuse’s Jonny Flynn will join North Carolina’s Ty Lawson, Wake Forest’s Jeff Teague, Brandon Jennings of Italy and Nando De Colo of France in a group morning workout.
Memphis guard Tyreke Evans will have an individual workout in the afternoon.
Checked with someone close to Thabeet to see if the Wolves are going to get a look at him and was told he won’t work out for the Wolves but might do a meet-and-greet with them.
“It’s Twitter,” Love said today from Los Angeles. “It’s a new day, a new age. Everybody’s doing the Twitter thing. Am I upset that I did it? I could have held my tongue a little bit, but basketball’s an emotional game, life’s emotional so I just acted on my emotions and kind of spit it out there.”
Love said he posted the tweet early Wednesday morning without thinking after McHale called him and center Al Jefferson to let him know he wouldn’t be back.
“Obviously, it was an emotional time for me just because Mac was the one who got me to Minnesota,” Love said. “He took over as the coach and helped me take my game to the next level. Not having him back and having him around, it’s tough because he’s one of the best if not the best power forward to play the game. It’s tough for me, but that’s just part of the business. Hopefully, the next guy who comes in will do just as good a job.”
Later, he was asked for thoughts on what kind of coach the Wolves should pursue. Mind you, we weren’t even looking for a specific name. But Madsen brought up an intriguing one: Brian Shaw.
Young has been going back and forth between Los Angeles and Washington this summer. He played in the Drew Summer League in Los Angeles with pros such as Detroit’s Amir Johnson, Boston’s Gabe Pruitt, Minnesota’s Bobby Brown, and even JaVale McGee.
