Gelabale could result better than you are expecting, nearer Budinger than Howard.
But the source is still very weak.

Anytime you have a chance to sign a guy who has a highlight mix set to a middle era Cranberries tune you have to take it.

Zgoda chimes in
* The Wolves seem close to signing French swingman Mickael Gelabale once Lazar Hayward's 10-day contract expires.
A European Internet report Sunday said Gelebale had reached agreement with an NBA team.
The Wolves have pursued him for weeks and David Kahn said before tonight's game that their still very interested.
He did say there was a deal, but did say, "I heard there was a report. We are working on some things."

Watched him playing in the Olympics.
Seemed to be a capable player, play solid defense, can knock down perimeter jumpers.

Sounds like the start of a long and confusing joke.
A Spaniard, Frenchman, Montenegrin, Puerto Rican and two Russians walk onto a basketball court...

And...the Wolves, as expected, will sign European swingman Mickael Gelabale on Friday after Lazar Hayward's 10-day contract expires following tonight's game.
Gelabale probably already is town and very well could be at practice tomorrow. A member of the French Olympic team last summer, he will help address their needs for a defender and three-point shooter.

He played awesome for a Croatian underdog team Cedevita in Euroleague this season, he was arguably their MVP. He will be an average bench contributor at worst if you ask me.

He's an accomplished player in Euroleague with a good pedigree. He managed to change his game quite well after all those injuries he suffered. One of my favorites french players. Hope he can stick with this team because it's a perfect fit. I really think he's an Adelman type player.

HA! You think his knees will allow him to even make it off the plane.
Can we start the Gelabale appreciation/thanks for trying thread already or what?

Wolves' sign French swingman Mickael Gelabale
Posted Jan 17, 2013 8:33 PM
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to terms with French swingman Mickael Gelabale.
Terms of the deal were not immediately available, but Gelabale was expected to join the injury-filled Wolves on Friday after Lazar Hayward's 10-day contract expires.
Gelabale has been playing for Valencia in the Spanish league. He is being brought in to add depth to a team that has been decimated by injuries to Kevin Love, Brandon Roy, Chase Budinger, Josh Howard and Malcolm Lee.
Gelabale does have some NBA experience. He played 109 games with the Seattle SuperSonics from 2006-08. He averaged just over 15 minutes per game in those two seasons before heading back overseas.
He will be the sixth Timberwolves player with an international background.
