From Peter Vecsey\/New York Post: <\/a><\/div>\n
From what I\u2019m told, Al Jefferson is ticked. \u201cHe\u2019s tired of losing,\u201d e-mailed a confidant of the Timberwolves\u2019 portable center. \u201cIt\u2019s all he\u2019s ever known in Minnesota and it\u2019s all he\u2019s ever known in the NBA.\u201d<\/em>

T\u2019wolf GM David Kahn was asked if Jefferson is requesting a trade and if there\u2019s any truth to the Danny Granger tales being spun.<\/em>

\u201cWhoever\u2019s telling you Al is unhappy has an agenda,\u201d Kahn e-mailed. \u201cThe kid wants to stay and understands we are building something, albeit something that is 2-3 years away.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter his name came up in a rumored deal that had no basis in reality, I met with Al and told him I had no intention of trading him this season.<\/em>..”<\/p>\n

From Ray Richardson\/Pioneer Press: <\/a><\/div>\n
Sunday night at Target Center, the third game in the Wolves’ “new season,” a much different word could be used to describe the outcome of the rematch. The Wolves were impressive in a 112-91 victory in front of 13,771, putting the Knicks away with a dominant fourth quarter and a front-line trio that could reshape the team’s look over the remaining 33 games of the season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Al Jefferson, Kevin Love and Ryan Hollins combined for 53 points, 25 rebounds and 58.1 percent shooting (25 of 43) to help the Wolves post their first two-game winning streak since late December. The Wolves defeated New Jersey on Dec. 23 and Washington on Dec. 26. <\/em><\/div>\n

From Phil Miller\/Star Tribune: <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/em>But the Florida product has improved offensively every month. He averaged 9.0 points on 36.3 shooting in a pair of October games; 12.1 points on 38.3 percent shooting in November; 12.5 points and 46.5 percent in December; and 15.6 points per game on 47.0 percent shooting in January. And three-pointers? Brewer made 27 in January — more than the 23 he had totaled in his career to that point.<\/em><\/p>\n

Will the improvement continue?<\/em>

“I think so,” he said. “Shooting is a matter of confidence. … And I’ve got a lot more confidence now.”<\/em><\/div>\n
