New Wolves blog We Drafted Pooh on the trade for Kevin Love.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In an interview on KLAC<\/a> yesterday, Kevin Love is asked about his beard and says that he thinks “it’s about to come off.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From Sid Hartman:<\/a><\/div>\n
The word is that the Timberwolves never would have traded the 34th pick in the draft to Miami had the Pistons not taken Indiana’s D.J. White with the 29th pick in the first round. The Wolves were very high on the 6-9 power forward and would have drafted him with their 34th pick if he was still available…<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Timberwolves General Manager Jim Stack said there isn’t any chance of buying out the three-year contract of second-round draft choice Nikola Pekovic of Serbia, a 6-11 center. “He’s making this year 1.5 million euros, net, which translates into about $2.8 [million] to $3 million,” Stack said. “The [U.S.] dollar is just so weak right now in the European market, and these kids get paid net money, so they don’t have to pay taxes on their money. This kid will be a more mature professional, we won’t have to wait on his development. He is already a player right now. He’s averaging 19 points a game, shooting 65 percent in the Euro League, which is the top league in all of Europe.”<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dave McMenamin\/NBA.com <\/a>ranks Kevin Love #6 among this year’s rookies:<\/div>\n

\nThere is no spot in the stat line for picture perfect outlet passes (or for 94-foot shots<\/a>
\nfor that matter), but the old adage goes that you need one superior
\nskill to make it in the league and a fastbreak igniting outlet pass is
\nat the top of Love’s bag of tricks. Love can play inside\/outside as a
\npick and pop guy and while he might not be the quickest of players, his
\ninnate basketball I.Q. usually guides him to be at the right place at
\nthe right time nonetheless. Think of Love as Al Horford with
\nthree-point range. It will be interesting to see if Minnesota plays
\nLove at the four and keeps Al Jefferson playing out of position at the
\nfive, or slides Jefferson back to power forward and give Love the
\nchallenge of playing as an undersized center.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
From Keloland.com:<\/a><\/div>\n

“Coach Wittman said asked me if I’d be interested in helping out, and I
\nsaid would love it,” Skyforce Head Coach Nate Tibbetts said.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
A month later, Tibbetts was officially invited to serve as an assistant
\ncoach for Minnesota during the 2008 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. <\/i><\/div>\n
