So...what was your favorite Greg Stiemsma moment?
The Wolves this morning waived the D League player and former Badger they signed before the season's final game in April.
He never played a minute as a Timberwolf, unless you count Las Vegas Summer League play.
So why did they sign them anyway?
Two reasons:
They wanted a summer workout partner for Al Jefferson, a job no longer required obviously.
And just in case they needed his non-guaranteed contract to make a big summer trade work, one that never came.

Still between jobs, I made an afternoon trip to Target Center to shoot some airballs hoops today. Hearing thumping and grunting from the Wolves facility I made a jaunt down there to see what appeared to be most of the team hard at work. This was encouraging. However, I did see who I believed to be Joe Alexander still working out with the team (I can't fully verify, but a caucasian swing man with curly hair was in attendance). From what I could see he looked good. Nice first step and a decent off-balance jumper. If it was indeed him, it could be reasonable to expect him to be on our training camp roster and perhaps offered a roster spot. Logjam implications aside, I for one am a huge fan of Kahn adding these "2nd chance" guys for cheap. I recall during the McHale regime many of us always clamoring for these types of low-risk-moderate reward signings. It is never a bad thing to give a recent top 10 pick a solid look.
