Star Tribune -
Kevin McHale suggested that the Mike James for Juwan Howard swap is only the first in what could be a series of moves designed to reshape a Wolves roster that has underachieved the past few seasons.

"We have more stuff we're planning on doing," McHale said. "So I'm sure I'll be talking to you guys again very soon."

Randy Wittman said Kevin Garnett was on board with the move, and Howard said he and Garnett have been friends since they worked out together in Chicago during the offseason early in Garnett's career.

Garnett made no secret that he wanted some veteran big-man help, both on the court and in the locker room. Howard appears to be someone who can do at least a little of both.

"I don't think Kevin wants to be the lone one who had to do a lot of things like that," Wittman said. "Having another guy who knows the ropes, knows the rights and wrongs [is good]."
