Deal would ship Sprewell to Timberwolves -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESPN.com news services A four-team trade involving the Timberwolves, Knicks, 76ers and Hawks has been agreed to and likely will be completed on Wednesday, ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reports. In the deal, the Wolves would pick up Knicks' forward Latrell Sprewell. In turn, the Knicks would get Keith Van Horn from the 76ers. Philadelphia would a legitimate No. 2 scorer, Glenn Robinson, to complement All-Star guard Allen Iverson. The Hawks would get point guard Terrell Brandon's contract from Minnesota. A source with the Timberwolves told Bucher that the trade was complete, but 76ers general manager Billy King told Bucher that it was close but not done. Another NBA source said that it was his belief that the trade would be finalized on Wednesday. It is the second major move that the Wolves have made this offseason. Minnesota, hoping to make a big move in the tough Western Conference, signed big man Michael Olowokandi on July 16. A lineup including Kevin Garnett, Olowokandi and Sprewell should give the Wolves a more dynamic offense next season. Sprewell, a fan favorite in New York, has spent the last five seasons with the Knicks. Playing out of position at small forward, the 6-5 Sprewell averaged 16.4 points last season. He spent the first six years of his career with the Warriors, and is a career 19.1 points-per-game scorer.
