Wolves Updates 8/8

Steve Weinman/CelticsBlog asked a few Wolves sites for their thoughts on who would make the team’s all-time starting five. He compiled the answers into one post as part of his "Runnin’ Fives" series. 

 

 

  

 

From Zach Eisendrath/Timberwolves.com:

Yet Wolves guards Randy Foye and Rashad McCants have been busy at work,
both trying to make a difference in their hometown communities.

 

This past weekend, Foye was actively raising money to renovate and
rebuild 1st/3rd Street Park in Newark’s North Ward, down the street
from where Foye grew up…

 

Last week, McCants hosted the second annual "Shoot for the Cure" event
in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. The event, which took
place from July 25 to 27 at the Bele Chere Festival, benefited breast
cancer-related programs and local area charities.

 

 

 

NBAStuffer.com makes a list of each team’s regular season rest days (via BDL which also points out that the Wolves play 11 back-to-backs).

 

 

 

From Joel Brigham/Hoopsworld:

With all the trades the Wolves have done already it doesn’t seem likely anything big and splashy is left for them to do. They’ve got a couple of free agents left from last year’s roster, but the team already has fourteen guys definitely on the roster for next year. Will Chris Richard, Michael Doleac, or Kirk Snyder be on the roster next year? That’s about all Minnesota has left to decide.

 

Total Offseason Grade: B

 

It’s hard to call Minnesota’s overhaul a coup, but they definitely made some nice moves and upgraded their roster without giving up much at all. They’ll win more games than they did last year, and it seems as if they’re definitely on the up-and-up. They don’t have KG anymore, but they do seem ready to turn a new page in the team’s history.
