"This is by far the most fun I've had in camp," Garnett -- of the Celtics -- said Monday, while claiming he'd not spent a whole lot of recent hours reminiscing.

"You know what's crazy?" he said, referring to this hasty reunion with all things Wolf. "The players, coaches and a lot of people I grew up alongside in Minnesota, a lot of those players are gone now."

The people he "didn't really know are still there. It makes it a little easier, knowing that the people I grew up with are not there."

Adjusting to changes

Reunions go every which way in East London. Jefferson said it "felt just like last year, just being in the hotel with these guys [the Celtics]. More like a family. We did everything together. That's the bad thing about it. But it's business."

As for Garnett, Wittman said, "We've all, I think, moved past that. We've got a new team here, and they've got a new team and it'll be good to see Kevin Garnett."

Howard: I'm a Wolf

Wittman calls Howard's relocation requests "a little bit blown out [of proportion], from a media standpoint. He's not demanding to be traded; he just wants the opportunity to win."

Said Howard, brought in six weeks before Garnett moved out, "I'm a Minnesota Timberwolf, not going to complain about it, and if I end up staying the entire year, I'm going to work hard."
