Citing an unidentified NBA general manager, the Newark Star-Ledger reported that the team has expressed an interest in the slumping shooting guard but that Minnesota is looking for a young player and a draft choice, “which the Nets are not willing to consider.”

Miller’s reaction?
“It’s always something around this time,” said Miller, who was acquired from Memphis in a draft-day trade last June. “I’ve played in the league nine years, now and all nine years there’s been something around the trading deadline. You just go out there and you play. Continue to work on the things you can control and go from there.”
After shocking the Suns in Phoenix on Friday, the Wolves capped off their little road trip with a somewhat lackluster, erratic effort in L.A., against the depleted and terrible Clips, and then a stronger, more consistent one against the Jazz. It should probably be noted that the Wolves won the former contest, 94-86, and lost the latter, 112-107. That strange pair of results (and throw in, too, the win in Phoenix which had more than one pundit saying things to the effect of “I have no idea how they won this game, but…”) are testament to how very blunt an instrument wins and losses can be in assessing an N.B.A. team’s performance. There’s a whole lot of space between those ones and zeroes.

Khloe Kardashian has something to get off her chest—and this time it’s not her shirt.
The Celebrity Apprentice contestant, 24, has been receiving intolerant messages recently on her official Web site from people taking exception to her relationship with 24-year-old Minnesota Timberwolves guard and African-American Rashad McCants; so she put fingers to keyboard in an effort to squash the hate.
Also accused is whistleblower Deanna Coleman, former vice president of operations of Petters’ financing unit. Coleman was supposed to turn over her $800-a-piece courtside tickets to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but was then spotted at a recent game at the Target Center.
