The Timberwolves have a $4.9 million midlevel exception and a $1.5 million exception to pay free agents this season.  When there extra cash in the pocket that means it is time to shop.

With most of the big names taken in this year?s free-agent melee, there still exists some good big men who might take a smaller 1-year contract in order to have a chance at a championship.

Karl Malone ? Tried with the Lakers and became more of a detriment than a help, will he do the same for Minnesota?

Tom Gugliotta ? Has spent a lot of time with Minnesota and thrived playing with Kevin Garnett, why not finish with the T-Wolves?

Vin Baker ? If he can get back into shape??

Rodney Rogers ? Already passed on a few offers, apparently looking for the ?big money.?

Greg Ostertag ? A possibility, however, the Dallas native wants to play for the Mavericks.  Imagine it, a front court with Bradley and Ostertag?Virtually unstoppable.
