David Kahn introduced Martell Webster as a Timberwolf this afternoon at Target Center and said he plans to call the agents for two players at 11 p.m. Wednesday -- the start of the NBA's free agency period -- to try to sent up visits for their clients.
Kahn wouldn't say who. I'm betting one is Amare Stoudemire. If he's really aiming at the sky, the other could be Chris Bosh, but perhaps even Kahn might know how high is too high to aim.
As I wrote in a story for Sunday's paper, look for the Wolves to aim high and target not a shooting guard, but a power forward whose length and athleticism could upgrade the frontcourt. Al Jefferson -- and even Kevin Love, depending on how high they can realistically aim -- likely included if it's a sign-and-trade deal.
"We won't be one of these teams that shows up on somebody's door step," Kahn said. "We'll invite one, maybe even two people to come visit us. I very much want people to come here and see the upgraded facilities, to meet Glen, to have a feel for the entire organization. There are a lot of quality people who work here and are connected to this organization.
"The more they can meet these people during this process, I think the better and also get a sense for the downtown, the Twins stadium. There's a lot of activity and excitement downtown. I think that's a benefit for us. One of the things we're selling is stability. We can do a better job of selling that here as opposed to be in some third-party city."
