R.J. Adelman, son of Rick Adelman, will be joining the Wolves' front office in player personnel.

The younger Adelman is known for bringing statistical analysis to his evaluation.

From the time Michael Beasley was 14-years-old, Joel Bell and Curtis Malone conspired a relationship with him in order to secure the rights to represent him professionally, according to a civil suit filed in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

Beasley asserts that Bell financially backed Malone's DC Assualt team and that in return Malone felt obliged to direct Beasley to Bell for professional representation.

Beasley’s suit contends that, along the way, Bell and Malone violated NCAA rules and federal laws governing agent conduct.

Beasley’s accusations are part of a countersuit against Bell and a third-party claim against Malone filed Sept. 27 in Montgomery County Circuit Court in response to a Jan. 21 breach-of-contract suit filed by Bell Sports Inc. against Beasley. Bell’s original suit claims Beasley wrongfully terminated his representation agreement with Bell Sports Inc. just prior to signing an endorsement deal with Adidas.

Several of the NBA's biggest stars are planning an overseas world tour.

From October 30th to November 9th, players will tour Puerto Rico, London, Macau and Australia.

Players will be paid up to $1 million and some of the money will also go to charity.

Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Blake Griffin, Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Amar'e Stoudemire, Chris Paul and Carlos Boozer are expected to appear.

Kevin Durant and Kevin Garnett may also appear in the tour.

If the NBA is able to reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement, then the tour will be canceled.

Derrick Williams is seriously considering signing overseas.

Williams was the second overall pick of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Timberwolves.

"If (the lockout) doesn't get fixed within the next week or so, then I'm really going to be looking into it," Williams said via cell phone from Los Angeles. "I think that's the Plan B, especially at this point."

Terry Porter will likely be hired as an assistant coach to Rick Adelman by the Timberwolves as soon as the lockout is resolved.

Porter has been a head coach with the Bucks and Suns.
