Hoop Springs Eternal: 07-08 T-Wolves: Back to the Future. Peter Weinhold doesn't seem to trust the Timberwolves management. I can't blame him.

Talkin' T-Wolves breaks down the training camp position battles.

An interesting post on MN Sports Fans about the Hassell trade. It seems this posters source implied that Hassell and Hudson were around mostly to make KG happy. Now that the ticket's gone, they were two who the Wolves made sure they moved. While there's no way to confirm how true this is, I believe it. T-Hud and KG were known to get along well and at Summer League games (when the Wolves used to host them), Trenton and KG would sit together in the stands. Hardly concrete evidence, but the logic and limited evidence together make sense to me. Further proof of how important it is for the Wolves to distance themselves from KG until a new identity is solidified.
