The following is a list of the potential center free agents come summer.  Some, have early termination options (player & team), others are restricted free agents (any team that makes them an offer can be matched by their current team) and lastly unrestricted free agents.

This is a look at all the possible center free agents and isn’t necessarily a list of players that the Timberwolves need to target, but rather a list of the potential free agents and what they could bring to the table for Minnesota.

-Nene Hilario (ETO): Nene is, without a doubt the biggest NBA center free agent this summer.  However, he has an early termination option and could still be with the Denver Nuggets for another season or sign an extension for long-term.  Nene has been linked to such teams as: the Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, Portland Trailblazers & New York Knicks.  Miami & New York both would have to trade other pieces to be able to sign him to a contract he’d accept.  Houston & Portland could potentially work something out, however Minnesota seems like it could be a destination as well.  I’m not quite sure that the best free agent center is going to leave a contender (Nuggets) to join a continually struggling squad (Timberwolves).  I would expect the Nuggets and Nene to work out a long-term contract that’ll keep him in Denver, after all, that’s where he wants to be.

-Ronny Turiaf (PO): Ronny Turiaf, currently a member of the New York Knicks and their current starting center.  Turiaf is an undersized center and isn’t exactly a top-notch option for most teams.  I think you can be assured that Turiaf will remain with the Knicks and accept his $4M+ option.

-Shaquille O’Neal (PO): Shaquille O’Neal has had a season plagued by injury.  A lot of leg problems for the 39-year-old dominant big man.  Shaq, has proven that even in limited time can still be a force on both ends of the floor.  That being said, do I think he’ll be back for another season in Bean Town or anywhere for that matter?  I really don’t think so.  The old timers, time is winding down and I do believe this ‘10-‘11 season will be his last.

-Ryan Hollins (PO): You better believe that this young big man will be accepting his player option for another season in Cleveland.  Ryan Hollins (the former Timberwolf) has a player option for $2M+ and you and I both know he won’t be able to grab that kind of money in free agency.  He’s an athletic center who can jump out of the gym, however, beyond that, well….there is no beyond that.

-Zydrunas Ilgauskas (PO): Z!  The 7-3 big man is currently a member of the Miami Heat.  He’s gotten a few starts, but has gotten some significant time off the bench as well.  No matter the end result of the Heat’s playoff run, Z will be back in the League for another season and I guarantee you, if that’s the case, it’ll be in Miami, on a contender, in quest for a ring!

-Aaron Gray (PO): Aaron Gray of the New Orleans Hornets is one big man!  A 7-foot 270+lb.  There’s really nothing beyond his size though.  He’s a role player and always will be.  The Timberwolves have Pek as their backup center, but may be in search for a 3rd string big, Gray could be their man.  The Hornets could have him back and I could see him re-upping with the Hornets however.

-Marc Gasol (R): After Nene, Marc Gasol is the next best free agent center.  Considering he’s a few years younger than Nene and could still become even better, you could argue he’s the biggest free agent center name.  Gasol is a restricted free agent and the Grizzlies seem to have every intention of matching any offer Gasol receives.  The Knicks seem to be the most interested team in his services.  I know a lot of Wolves fans ‘salivate’ (if that’s the correct word) at the thought of a Love-Gasol frontcourt.  

-DeAndre Jordan (R): DeAndre has made some bounds this season along with his buddy Blake Griffin in the Clippers frontcourt.  Jordan has become a solid low-post defender.  At just 22 years old, he’d be a great option for any team to pick up.  However, the Clippers have made it clear that they have every intention on Jordan being their center of the future after starting him over Chris Kaman (a former All-Star).  I’d expect the Clips to match any offer.  Now, turning to the Wolves, looking at a Love-Jordan frontcourt would be offense-defense, old school-athleticism, young potential-young potential.  It’s certainly a interesting option.

-Greg Oden (R): Greg Oden is another name that has had some mumblings throughout the TWolves community.  Oden has had an injury-riddled career.  The former #1 pick has proven he can be a difference-maker for his squad when healthy, however, his knees haven’t been able to hold up.  Oden will be a restricted free agent and the Blazers are expected to match any offers, however the Wolves may be able to acquire the 7-footer.  When healthy he would bring a defensive force to the Wolves next to Love on the frontline.

-Tyson Chandler: Yet another big name the Wolves could certainly look to acquire.  Tyson Chandler is currently a member of the championship-contending Dallas Mavericks who just swept the Lakers 4-0 on their way to the Conference Finals.  Chandler and he Mavs will likely come to some sort of contract agreement to keep the lengthy defender next to a perfect counterpart (Nowitzki).  Hopes are high that Chandler would be an equally impressive center next to Love in the frontcourt.

-Samuel Dalembert: A veteran shot-blocker with the ability to change games with his interior defense.  Dalembert is a veteran big man, who beyond his defense isn’t a great asset in the frontcourt.  However his defense would be a welcome addition to Love and Beasley as well as the Timberwolves lackluster team defense overall.  Dalembert is a name that is on more than a few radars and I’d expect him to sign for a bargain with the New York Knicks as their startin center next to Amar’e in their frontcourt.

-Yao Ming: The tallest player currently in the NBA at 7-6 has struggled with foot injuries in the past few years.  His enormous frame is damaging his feet, just like others before him: Bill Walton.  Yao, when healthy, is a changes the game for his squad.  His massive frame clogs up the middle and is not only a low-post defensive force, but his interior offense is probably the best of any center free agent.  Yao is also one of the League’s best free throw shooting big man.  Yao will likely sign for a small contract to stay in Houston, but I guarantee he’s an option the Wolves will consider.

-Nenad Krstic: A small piece of the Boston-Oklahoma City trade that featured Jeff Green, Kendrick Perkins & Nate Robinson.  Nenad is currently a reserve center for the Celtics, but I wouldn’t expect they’ll take him back.  Nenad will likely jump on with another team as a 2nd or 3rd string center.  He’s not an option for the Wolves that makes sense unless he’d be a deep bench warmer.

-Joel Pryzbilla: Pryzbilla was vocal in stating, that before the Trade Deadline, he wanted to stay in Portland for the remainder of the season and possibly his career.  That didn’t happen, Pryzbilla was a part of the deal that sent Gerald Wallace to the Portland Trailblazers.  Pryzbilla didn’t play much at all and was shut down with injuries.  He could be back as a center for the Bobcats in the future, but before he was traded he said that in free agency, he would also possibly consider offers from the Bucks (where he started his career) or the New York Knicks who are desperate for some quality big men.

-Chuck Hayes: The 6-6 center Chuck Hayes started his career and he will end his career in Houston.  Hayes wants to remain in Houston long-term as do the Rockets.  Hayes is a physical defender and center but is simply a reserve.  Hayes is a Rocket and will continue to be a Rocket.

-Jeff Foster: The Indiana Pacers 2nd string center (behind Roy Hibbert) Foster is a free agent this summer.  Foster is a veteran presence in the locker room and a quality reserve center for any team.  His name has been linked to the New York Knicks mostly.  Foster isn’t an option that makes sense for the Wolves, but Jeff will likely garner a lot of interest of contenders in search of a quality backup.

-Nazr Mohammed: Nazr was traded from the Bobcats to the Thunder just before the Trade Deadline.  Mohammed is a quality veteran, not a starter-quality big man, but a reserve big man that can make a difference with his overall play.  He’s the kind of big man that is solid overall, but doesn’t really do anything special altogether. 

-Erick Dampier: Erick Dampier was picked up as the 5th center for the Miami Heat earlier in the year.  After some time he secured a role as the starting center.  Dampier is a big body in the post.  A very physical center.  More of a defensive player, who will occasionally get involved on offense.  He fits well with the Heat as they don’t expect a whole lot from him.  A few boards, low-post D and just a rough physicality.  I’d expect him to be back in Miami next year.

-Dan Gadzuric: Gadzuric was traded from the Bucks to the Warriors and from the Warriors to the Nets in a matter of just over half a year.  Gadzuric is a reserve center that won’t get a lot of time, but is an insurance big man.  Dan may get an offer from a contender, but the Wolves won’t be a team that comes knocking.

-Alexis Ajinca: Ajinca was traded from the Mavericks to the Raptors earlier this year.  He’s likely the worst available free agent center.  The 7-footer will likely catch on with another team, simply because of his young age and possibility of being able to improve.  Ajinca won’t be an option for Minnesota though.

The following is a list of the power forward free agents.  Some, have early termination options (player & team), others are restricted free agents (any team that makes them an offer can be matched by their current team) and lastly unrestricted free agents.

This is a look at all the possible power forward free agents and isn’t necessarily a list of players that the Timberwolves need to target, but rather a list of the potential free agents and what they could bring to the table for Minnesota.

-Tim Duncan (ETO): Tim Duncan in any other color besides black, white & silver!?  I don’t believe it!  You shouldn’t either.  Duncan does have an early termination option and there’s a good chance he could opt out of his contract this summer.  The aging superstar was knocked out of playoffs early last week after his Spurs were defeated by the Memphis Grizzlies.  The big man could opt out, much like Richard Jefferson did last summer: to sign a long(er) contract for more money.  I wouldn’t expect to see the ‘Old Fundamental’ playing anywhere else next season.

-David West (ETO): West has an early termination option this offseason as well.  I don’t see that happening however.  West had that season-ending injury late last season, putting him out for the playoffs, where the Lakers beat the Hornets in 6 games.  Before the injury, the thought was that West would almost certainly opt-out, however, since that injury his value has decreased substantially.  The Hornets have said they want to bring him back and that’s what you’ve got to expect.

-Boris Diaw (PO): Diaw of the Charlotte Bobcats is a solid versatile forward.  He’s a solid three-point shooter who has the ability to bang on the block and shot from the outside.  A lot of his teammates say he has a very easy-going attitude, maybe to easy-going, saying, if he was a little more dedicated he could potentially be a star in this League.  There is no doubt however, that he’ll pick up his player option worth over $9M.  He will be a Bobcat for at least one more season.

-Louis Amundson (PO): Amundson a former-Phoenix Sun signed with the Golden State Warriors last offseason and this summer he’ll have the opportunity to re-up with the Warriors or opt-out.  Amundson is a solid role player, nothing really special.  He plays hard and makes plays.  I’d expect him to resign with the Warriors, if he doesn’t, I’m sure there’ll be a plethora of teams looking for a stretch 4-5 guy.

-Brian Cook (PO): Brian Cook also has a team option for next season for the Los Angeles Clippers.  Cook isn’t a great player by any means, he’s a bit of a shooter, but beyond that, there’s nothing.  If he does decide to opt-out, I don’t see to many interested teams waiting in the wings.

-Jeff Green (R): Jeff Green is a restricted free agent this summer and you can be certain that if the Boston Celtics don’t resign the swingman to a lengthy deal, the town of Boston may riot (after they gave up fan-favorite Kendrick Perkins to acquire him).  Green is supposed to be one of the integral parts of their rebuilding process.  Green is a young swingman with a lot of talents as a point forward.  However, being a restricted free agent, you better believe he will get more than his far share of offers from various clubs around the League.

-Carl Landry: Carl Landry has made two NBA Trade Deadline moves in the past two seasons.  He was traded from the Houston Rockets to the Sacramento Kings two seasons ago and this past season he was traded from the Sacramento Kings to the New Orleans Hornets.  He’s a talented, still youthful forward with a knack for getting it done in the paint and mid-range.  Landry will certainly get some other offers, but the Hornets have been vocal in saying they hope to retain him.  He’s a good player, but he just wouldn’t fit with the players the TWolves currently have.

-Kenyon Martin: Kenyon Martin, the former #1 pick is a free agent this offseason.  The Nuggets could certainly look to renew his contract with the team and continue starting him at the 4-spot.  However, there’s no doubt he won’t be making the near-$16M he did last season.  Martin is a physical power forward, he can handle the best in the paint.  Known mostly as a banger as well.  Martin is a veteran big that will garner some interest and I definitely see him moving elsewhere this summer.  The Nuggets are going younger and he’s not the answer at the four.  Expect him to jump somewhere like New Jersey [this is a possibility, but this is the team he was drafted by just under a decade ago (as the #1 pick)].  

-Troy Murphy: Troy Murphy was traded to the New Jersey Nets and then thrown to the inactive list for the majority of the season.  Before the Trade Deadline he was traded to the Warriors and then waived, later signing with the Celtics.  He’s got minimal minutes, but he’s a great shooter especially for a big man as well as a capable rebounder.  He could be a starter for a lot of teams, but he’s currently a third-string forward for the Celts, needless to say, I see him signing elsewhere this offseason.  The Wolves?  It’s a possibility, but not a very likely one, the Wolves already have Love, Randolph & Tolliver at the 4, Murphy wouldn’t see much more play time for Minnesota.  I could see him in Miami?  LA Lakers?  All possibilites.

-Kris Humphries: I wrote an article a few weeks back discussing Kris Humphries, the Minnesota-native, possibly coming to play for his hometown-TWolves.  Humprhies basically said that he likes playing for the Nets and they’ll be moving to Brooklyn and they’re getting a new arena and he wants to be a part of that, head coach Avery Johnson wants him to be a part of that, and the Nets organization wants him to be a part of that.  I think the indications are pretty obvious, I’d expect you to see Kris back with the Nets for long-term.

-Glen Davis: Glen Davis is a young forward for the Boston Celtics.  This is the third Celtics power forward free agent this summer!  Clearly they can’t keep them all, however, Glen Davis should be back in Bean Town for a lengthy contract.  The big young forward is a HUGE spark off the bench and could even be a starter for some of the teams around the League.  Glen Davis will likely be a Celtic long-term.

-Vladimir Radmonovic: Radmonovic, the power forward shooter.  A deep reserve for most teams, Vlad is currently a member of the Golden State Warriors.  He’s a below-average player in almost every facet of the game.  However, his shooting is valuable, that along with his size, will certainly get him an offer this summer, most likely, not fromt the Warriors, or the TWolves, but some team.

-Solomon Jones: Jones is currently and Indiana Pacer, I haven’t seen him play much and I do watch a lot of NBA games.  He’s a young player who actually got some significant minutes this season and last.  With Tyler Hansborough for most of two seasons ago and Troy Murphy gone this past season, Solomon has gotten some bigger more minutes, however, I remember reading something that Head Coach (at the time) Jim O’Brien said, that he wouldn’t be starting anymore because of his inability to rebound the basketball.  If, however, he was playing significant minutes for a playoff team, he could certainly get a contract offer [granted the Pacers were the worst team in the playoffs (record-wise)].

-Josh McRoberts: McRoberts, another Pacer power forward will also be a free agent this offseason.  If you remember, the Pacers nearly traded McRoberts and one of their draft picks to the Memphis Grizzlies for…O.J. Mayo!!  Mayo is quite obviously MUCH more talented than McRoberts.  I could see Josh resigning with the Pacers this summer.  He’s a big guy with a solid inside game, nothing great, but a valuable reserve for any squad.  I anticipate Indiana to keep him as a 2nd-stringer behind Hansborough.

-Reggie Evans: Evans, the biggest threat to Kevin Love for the rebounding title last season before he broke his foot.  He’s an great rebounder, beyond that, NOTHING.  Evans could certainly garner some interest because of that, but I don’t know how many teams are interested in a big man who can rebound and do nothing else.  

-Jared Jeffries: From New York to Houston and back to New York once again.  That’s the story for Jeffries who was a part of the Houston-New York deal that sent Tracy McGrady to New York and Jordan Hill & Jared Jeffries to Houston.  Jeffries was waived around this past season’s trade deadline after the Rockets had to free up roster spots for Smith, Thabeet, Carroll etc.  Jeffries then hopped back onto the Knicks and even started a few games at center, of course the Knicks were swept in the 1st round by the Celtics.  Jeffries could resign to a few places, but I’d expect him to stay in New York, however, wherever he goes, he won’t get a whole lot of playing time.

-Leon Powe: Leon Powe was waived by the Cavs and later signed with the Memphis Grizzlies.  He’s a great young player who has been part of a few championship-caliber teams: Boston & Cleveland.  Leon garnered some interest after he was waived and I would expect the same this summer.  Wherever he goes, I’d expect him to sign with a solid team that’ll give him some play time, but not likely a team of championship-caliber, the Grizzlies?  Perhaps, however, they’re looking more championship-caliber every game out in these playoffs (currently 1-1 against OKC).

-Steve Novak: Novak, like Radmonovic a tall three-point shooter and nothing else.  He’s had stints mostly with the Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs.  Beyond three-point shooting Novak wouldn’t be in the NBA.  I’d expect him to catch on as a bench warmer for some team, but I couldn’t tell you who.

Los Angeles Lakers’ Head Coach Phil Jackson has been very vocal that he won’t return next season with intents to retire.  The Lakers are looking at potential replacements and current head coach of the Timberwolves Kurt Rambis’ name has come up recently.

Kurt Rambis’ future with the Wolves is in serious jeopardy after another losing season for the TWolves.  Rambis has a 32-132 record in his two years as head coach.  GM of the Wolves David Kahn and owner Glen Taylor haven’t made a decision yet on the future of Rambis with the team.

Rambis has been at all three of the Lakers’ playoff home games versus the Hornets.  The thought is he could be potentially angling for the head coaching job next season.  Rambis’ coaching job with the Wolves is obviously an obstacle, but chances are he’ll be fired and this coaching job with the Lakers is a very possible situation.  He’s a former player, assistant coach, and interim coach for the Lakers.

Simply speculation though, there’s certainly the possibility that Rambis is simply supporting Jackson in his final playoff run.
