Kandi is being traded. He has been held out of the last few games. He is an expiring contract. There have been a few Blount to Wolves rumors around. It isn't for Frances or Artest.... They need a scorer and that is about all Blount is good for. Please, Please let it be Blount!!!!
Got this from the Minnesota paper:
Wolves owner hinting at possible Olowokandi trade
Apparently the real reason the Timberwolves have not been playing Michael Olowokandi is that the center, in his last year of his contract, could be traded very soon.

Apparently the real reason the Timberwolves have not been playing Michael Olowokandi is that the center, in his last year of his contract, could be traded very soon.
Wolves owner Glen Taylor strongly hinted at that after Friday night's victory over Denver at Target Center.
"Call me in 72 hours and I will have some news for you," said Taylor, sounding like the deal had been made and will be announced soon.
However, Taylor said the Wolves don't have any interest in suspended Orlando point guard Steve Francis, who is making too much money.
As for Indiana's Ron Artest, Taylor said: "I don't know of anything that's new on Ron Artest. They haven't talked to us, so I assume there is nothing that's going to happen."
Taylor said he is disappointed with the Wolves' .500 record.
"I'm the same as the team and the coach, that we're disappointed with the wins that we have," he said. "I think at this point in the process that we just thought that we would be further on our plan. It appears more in the area of scoring. We're just having trouble finding guys who can score. So that's what we're working on."
With Utah being a big surprise, it is not going to be easy for the Wolves to win the Northwest Division with their current personnel.
