The Wolves practiced early at Target Center this morning and now are headed off to New York City for Tuesday night's game against the Knicks.
We're fast approaching just three weeks to the trade deadline.
An Arizona Republic report that the Wolves are one of three teams -- Golden State and Cleveland are the others, acccording to the newspaper -- who are calling about Amare Stoudemire serves as a reminder.
Stoudemire, you might recall, was one of the first players David Kahn was believed to have sought in June 2009, shortly after he was hired.
There are things that don't make sense about the notion, just as there were about that Al Jefferson-for-Danny Granger rumor (like, the Pacers would never do it, for one).
Stoudemire can become a free agent this summer, although whether he would turn down $17.8 million guaranteed for the 2010-11season is a big "if."
Would the Wolves have any chance of signing a guy who has played in warm, sunny Phoenix all his career and wants to play for a title contender to a long-term deal?
The one advantage the Wolves would have if they acquired him is the ability to pay him more than anybody can because they have the money and we all know it does talk.
