Sessions and Brewer take part in Timberwolves Caravan and more
From Todd Porter/CantonRep.com:
Koufos had been traded from Utah to Minnesota. The Jazz spent a first-round pick on the one-and-done former Ohio State big man. Head Coach Jerry Sloan isn’t keen on playing rookies, and less so on 19-year-olds, and Koufos’ playing time was limited.
"I understand it’s a business, and I feel confident wherever I end up," Koufos said. "I feel like I’ll be very successful in this league as long as I stay focused and continue to work. This is a one-day-at-a-time league."
From KAAL TV:
The Timberwolves have made several changes to their roster since the end of the season, but a few familiar faces showed up at Owatonna high school Monday.
Minnesota guards Corey Brewer and Ramon Sessions and team mascot Crunch are a part of the Timberwolves summer caravan, which visits several towns outside the Twin Cities every year.
From Charley Walters/Pioneer Press:
The Timberwolves report sales of about 400 new season tickets from their "pay the pick" promotion that priced seats based on their NBA lottery pick (No. 4). That means those season tickets sell for $172 apiece.
The Wolves say they have an overall season-ticket renewal rate of about 85 percent on a full-season equivalent of nearly 6,000 tickets.

season tickets
big ups to the wolves for the “pay the pick” promotion. never thought id be a season ticket holder to anything. super excited for the season to start.
So that is 14 on the roster by my count
I think this is the first time in history one man managed to destroy an entire city by himself. Even the Enola Gay had a flight crew.
Sessions for caravan?
Nice that the TWolves chose Sessions to be part of the caravan to drum up fan support when they are planning on trading him. (%)
I'm not convinced Sessions gets traded
could be Yawny
Breaking down cognitive dissonance and group think since gasoline was cheap.
If his jumper is anything like his voice he could be the #1 we’ve been looking for.

And don't we need to have someone to trade?
I understand clearing cap space so we can take advantage of a nice mid-season pickup, but don’t we need to have someone the other team wants to complete the trade?
Well, the idea would be that the Wolves would be in a position to take on a big contract
that another team that isn’t winning doesn’t want, even though it’s a good player. Like Utah taking on Al for essentially nothing.
However, you raise an interesting point. The downside to a higher cap number, or more precisely a higher luxury tax number is that fewer teams are in danger of paying the tax, which means they will have less pressure to make a deal. Philly is a great example. They looked in danger of being a tax payer, which might have made them more inclined to move Iguodala, but now they are comfortably short of the tax.
