From Jonah Ballow/Timberwolves site: 1-on-1 with Jonny Flynn
Jonah Ballow: Jonny, you arrived here in Minneapolis about a week ago, how are the workouts going with the guys? Are you feeling comfortable here in the Twin Cities?
Jonny Flynn: I feel real comfortable. It’s a place I’m definitely getting used to really fast. Just the basketball part of it, we are coming in at 10 AM to get team lifts, we get team runs, we come and play pick-up, so the chemistry is already starting. You see any good franchise, any good team, the chemistry has to be clicking from day one and I think we’re definitely doing that here.

From Hoopsworld: NBA CHAT WITH BILL INGRAM (Via MNSportsFans)
Shawn in :
Hi Bill. Do you think the Wolves and Kings will end up trade partners? I could see Flynn + expirings + ? for Martin making sense if Tyreke can’t effectively play PG. Wolves need a SG and Big Al wants to start winning.
Bill Ingram:
I’ve heard rumors about Martin heading to the Wolves, but nothing from a real insider. That team would be a playoff team in the West – I’ll say that !

assuming all players stay healthy. what do you think of the twolves could they suprise a few people? 30-35 wins possible/realistic? also who would be a realistic wing and or center we could get at deadline or fa next year? (jjohnson, r gay)
Bill Ingram:
I think 35 wins is very possible . . .they’ve had a good summer. Joe Johnson is precisely what they’re lacking, but the Hawks won’t let him go unless they’ve convinced he won’t re-sign long-term. I don’t think you’re getting Gay from Memphis, either. But Kahn is already turning that franchise around . . .will be interesting to see.

From the Associated Press:
Former NBA player Jerome “Pooh” Richardson reluctantly testified Monday that his close friend, a Philadelphia police officer, tipped him about an imminent drug raid involving his half-sister.
