Vin Baker

Quote:
Still looking for frontcourt help, the Timberwolves have agreed to a non-guaranteed contract with free-agent forward Vin Baker, according to a person in the league.

Baker is expected to be in attendance for the team's media day Monday at Target Center and the start of training camp Tuesday in Mankato.

Good thing it is a non-guaranteed contract, though. I don't have any expectations from him anymore, really.

Re: Vin Baker

Casey better not have his hands around Baker like Glen Taylor did to McHale.

WOW! I never thought I would see his name mentioned with an NBA roster again.

Re: Vin Baker

it'll be aight.

keep your heads up!

Be optimistic in believing that KG will give him a nock on the head that will change him back into a better form.

it's only a month away guys.

Wolves are going to come out & remain solid this season.... this much i believe.

Re: Vin Baker

The thing I don't understand is how he is still getting chances at 35?? The guy hasn't played decent ball for five years, surely there are better alternatives?

Although I guess he'll be 11th or 12th man anyway.

Re: Vin Baker

Like Jux said, at least it's non-guaranteed. That's a very un-McHale-like thing to do.

Maybe he's changing his ways!

But I seriously doubt it.

Re: Vin Baker

Gosh, this is surprising. I'd actually thought Vin Baker died a couple years ago. Silly me.

Re: Vin Baker

Hopefully he doesn't make the team. Wolves should really look into acquiring Marcus Fizer. He's always wanted to play with KG.

but although he does seem to have enough talent to be solid in the NBA, its been years since a team signed him and gave him minutes, there has gotta be something to that, the gm's must know something about marcus that the public doesnt
