From Charley Walters/Pioneer Press:
Don’t be surprised if the Timberwolves trade one of their two second-round draft picks (Nos. 31 and 34) in June for a similar pick next year and use the other on a European player.
There have been no recent talks between the Timberwolves and Clear Channel officials about moving the team’s games to KTLK since they met a day after the season ended. In addition to the pending sale of Clear Channel, another concern could be the fact that Wolves games on the East Coast would cut into the airtime for highly paid host Jason Lewis, who is on weekdays 4-7 p.m.
Mark Murphy/Boston Herald on Antoine Walker:
In the irony of ironies, Walker, a longtime critic of Danny Ainge,
was on hand when the Celtics director of basketball operations accepted
his NBA Executive of the Year trophy.

Writers at the Mille Lacs County Times on Kevin McHale’s comments earlier in the offseason on the possibility of the team getting 40 wins next year.
The Timberwolves may have received good, young talent
in the deal, but the team was unwatchable this season, and won’t likely
be much better next season. By the time the Timberwolves become
competitive again, the league’s landscape may have changed. In
fairness, it’s not all McHale’s fault, given that he should no longer
be the team’s chief decision-maker, but owner Glen Taylor continues to
show unwarranted faith in McHale, which should probably come with
another apology.
