\n"We have three or
\nfour deals that are just laying around," McHale said. "Teams are like,
\n‘If we can do this, we’ll do that.’ At a certain point between now and
\nNov. 2, they’re going to get their things in order."<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

\nFrom Zgoda’s article and AP Sports:<\/a>\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nAl Jefferson- According to Kevin McHale, there have been "preliminary" talks with his agent about a contract extension. The team has until Oct 31 to sign the player or he’ll become a restricted free agent next summer. \n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nJuwan Howard- Coach Wittman said, "He’s never come to me and said, ‘Coach, I want out."’\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nChris Richard- McHale said he hasn’t yet accepted the team’s qualifiying offer.\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n

\nOne thing that makes him special is his work ethic. I’ve seen Kevin
\nGarnett work out for 2 ½ hours on the practice court, then go and work
\nout for an hour in the weight room, then come back and shoot for
\nanother hour. Not only one day would I see him do this, in a month he
\nprobably does this 20-24 times … with the traveling. He’s just so
\ngifted. That’s why he’s never hurt. He just takes care of his body and
\non the court he gives it his all. He never slacks.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n
