Minnesota gets Love on its terms — and a lot of pressure
Minnesota, a franchise known for handing out ridiculous contracts — hello Wally Szczerbiak! — picked now to become frugal. Kevin Love wanted a five-year, $80 million max extension to his rookie deal, but Minnesota wouldn’t give it. Four years, $62 million was the offer on the table. Minnesota won the battle Wednesday, they got their…

Negotiation had a happy ending for Wolves
MINNEAPOLIS Contract negotiations can bring out the worst in sports. They're a reminder that this is more than a game, that these men and women are being paid more in one year than most people are in a lifetime. They can turn affable stars terse and make coaches despondent.
The past week has not been fun for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Wally Szczerbiak Is: Superman
Wally Szczerbiak is gainfully employed, unlike everyone else in the top 10 of his draft class. That temporary triumph doesn't make a Superman costume anything but a bit of a reach for the Szczerb: maybe someone like Aquaman or Jubilee would be more appropriate. [Twitter]More »

Remember when everyone wanted Doc Rivers out?
I know this has been making its rounds all day, but I just couldn't help myself.
Chris Forsberg of ESPN Boston somehow found this gem of a website that went up during the 2006-07 season, the year that the Celtics went 24-58, suffered through an 18-game losing streak and everyone thought that Greg Oden was the answer to all of the Celtics' problems. On the site, FireGlennDocRivers...

What the Hell Happened to...Wally Szczerbiak?
Was it too soon to write this one? Yeah probably. I mean it was just 3 seasons ago that Wally "Blue Steel" Szczerbiak was outplaying Ray Allen in the conference semifinals. You do remember that, right? I remember thinking I was hallucinating that series while watching that. How the hell could Szczerbiak be outplaying a future Hall of Famer? Ray couldn't hit a...

2002: The Last All-Star Game Sans Suns
Fun fact: the last time the Suns didn’t have a representative in the All-Star Game, Steve Nash was an All-Star.
How long ago was that? The Seattle Supersonics still existed, and Gary Payton was still their All-Star point guard. Karl Malone still prowled the mountains of Utah with his faithful ox, Blue Stockton. Shane Battier was a rookie. The team in Charlotte still wore teal...

CBS Name Fails
CBS’s graphics department failed recently when they labeled Wally Szczerbiak as “Random Dude” during one of their telecasts. There’s a chance that the production team just forgot to change their placeholder text, but judging by these other screen grabs we were able to find, it appears the Columbia Broadcasting System’s policy is now to give generic ...
