THE KANDI MAN CAN: Well, that worked out all right... mere hours after losing center Rasho Nesterovic to San Antonio, the Timberwolves Tuesday signed erstwhile Clipper Michael Olowokandi to a three-year contract worth just over $16 million.
Olowokandi, the #1 overall pick in the 1998 draft, has shown flashes of brilliance but even more rawness in his first four NBA seasons, yet still stands a very good chance of becoming the best center the T-Wolves have ever had. Then again, his competition is Randy Breuer, Felton Spencer, Luc Longley, Sean Rooks, Cherokee Parks, Stanley Roberts, Dean Garrett, Loren Woods, and Rasho.
