    The following is a quote from a Sporting News article on the Wolves current woes:

    "Minnesota thought it was adding a quality reserve when it traded for center Marc Jackson in February. After a fast start in Minnesota, Jackson averaged 2.5 points in an 11-game stretch, and his minutes per game dwindled to single digits. "

    Jackson looks to be a bust as a Wolves reserve and we were considering him as a starter?

    On the good side, the Rockets unintentionally added to the financial woes of Minnesota.

    Minnesota has all kinds of problems and MJ is not really the focus and should not be, given where he has come from. If Minnesota does not want him, I would be happy to take him back. I am sure you will find that it will work out as it will with Woods. Remember this is a team with picks taken away. Look to see where both of these guys are after training camp and preseason.

    Hmm. Can we trade picks to Minnesota? I'll take that Garnett Kid. You can throw in Wally, too, as a favor. Thanks.

    Not much of value we can pry away there, prolly though. Wally, Chauncy, TBrandon, possible trade pieces - not sure what nice value we'd be willing to give - then the also-rans - Smith, MJax, etc.

    If Wally isn't geeked about re-signing, I wonder what it takes to get him? That's a very sound, solid basketball player. Great shot selection, smart, great percentages, plays d. Deserving allstar.
