From the Timberwolves site: The top 10 moments in franchise history
From Art Garcia/NBA.com: Change approaching slowly for growing Timberwolves
In the ongoing saga of Ricky Rubio it sounds as though the Minnesota Timberwolves are still very much in the running, despite reports earlier this week that he had agreed to terms with FC Barcelona on a six-year deal. As.com has an interview with DKV Joventut president Jordi Villacampa, who owns Rubio’s rights, which has been translated by our friends at HoopsHype:

“The Barcelona offer has to be approved by the club,” says Villacampa. “It’s true that they have offered more money than Real Madrid, but we want them to pay the I.V.A. tax (600,000 euros, around $862,000 dollars) next season, not later.”

Villacampa went on to say that one reason why the team hasn’t accepted Barcelona’s offer is because there is “another important offer from the Minnesota Timberwolves.”

From Tim Povtak/Fanhouse: Corey Brewer Wants to Help Change Minnesota’s Losing Culture
Brewer, 23, will be going into his third season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, still trying to establish himself in the NBA and still struggling with the weight of losing game after game on a team going through a painful rebuilding process.

“This is a big year for me, for the team,” he said earlier this week after a workout at the IMG Training Center in Bradenton. “This (transition) has been tough. I went from a team that didn’t know how to lose — we took losing real hard — to a team where we just lose and you get used to it. Things have got to change.”

Jeff Bzdelik likely would have gone to Minnesota had the offer come earlier in the summer.

He met with Timberwolves executive David Kahn in Las Vegas. The discussion was about making Bzdelik a top assistant coach to be the nuts and bolts inside, while whomever Kahn selected to be the head coach would be the face of the team. But the head-coaching search dragged for weeks and into August before Kahn selected Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis for the gig.

Bzdelik didn’t wait for Kahn or Rambis or anyone else from the Timberwolves organization to make a play, if they were going to do so after the hire was official.

ESPN with a list of teams who “could encounter quite a few difficulties this season”:
Wolves (3 votes)
Al Jefferson. Kevin Love. Jonny Flynn. That’s a start. But new coach Kurt Rambis might wish he had never left Phil Jackson’s right hand when considering the holes on his current roster. Of course, the Wolves could have addressed their needs better had they not drafted two point guards with their top two picks. Especially since one of them is still holding the Wolves hostage in Spain. But that’s a whole other issue.
