From the Associated Press:<\/a><\/div>\n
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Bobby Brown has exercised his player option for the 2009-10 season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Brown will make just under $740,000 next season. He came over from Sacramento at the trade deadline in a deal that sent Rashad McCants to the Kings. He averaged 5.3 points and 1.7 assists in under 14 minutes a game last season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Brown will return to a potentially crowded race for time at point guard next season.<\/em><\/div>\n

From Don Seeoholzer\/Pioneer Press:<\/a><\/div>\n
Minnesota has four unrestricted free agents in this year’s class, led by small forward Rodney Carney, who established himself as an open-court force and three-point threat in a sixth-man role after Kevin McHale succeeded Randy Wittman as coach.<\/em>

Carney couldn’t be reached for comment Tuesday, but he said after McHale was dismissed that he planned to keep all his options open.<\/em>

“It’s all up in the air,” he said. “I don’t know. Hopefully, (the Timberwolves) will want to keep me around, but if not I’ll get a shot elsewhere.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Point guard Kevin Ollie, forward Shelden Williams and center Jason Collins are the Wolves’ other unrestricted free agents; they are unlikely to be re-signed. <\/em><\/div>\n

From Jerry Zgoda\/Star Tribune: <\/a><\/div>\n
Kahn is on the road this week looking for a coach to replace Kevin McHale. Former NBA point guard Mark Jackson appears to be the favorite.<\/em>

While he is gone, Kahn will monitor the NBA’s free-agency period that began at midnight and let loose a vast collection of players — including Ben Gordon, Paul Millsap, David Lee, Shawn Marion and probably Hedo Turkoglu — onto an open marketplace in which Oklahoma City, Detroit and Memphis are positioned to be the most lavish spenders.<\/em>

The Wolves will be, at best, secondary players who will wait to see whether they can pluck a player — preferably a shooting guard — at a bargain price to balance a roster tilted toward power forward\/center and point guard. The Wolves gained a fourth point guard Tuesday when Bobby Brown exercised his player option for next season.<\/em>

Kahn also will continue to, as quietly as possible, negotiate what looks like an approaching showdown with the agent for Ricky Rubio. The precocious Spanish guard is contemplating multi-year offers from European teams that could delay his arrival in Minnesota for as many as four years — even cancel it — if the Wolves don’t trade him or Syracuse’s Jonny Flynn first.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From Mike Max\/WCCO: <\/a><\/div>\n
The word is that Minnesota Timberwolves first draft pick Ricky Rubio was in town. The word is they could push a contract because the collective bargaining agreement could become less rookie-friendly.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the team going younger, Mark Jackson’s name becomes more mentioned as a leading candidate for the coaching job. <\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
