http://www.startribune.com/wolves/story/1254004.html Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman has completed his coaching staff by hiring former Gophers forward J.B. Bickerstaff. Bickerstaff, 28, was the Wolves' radio analyst during the 2003-04 season. He spent the past three seasons as an assistant in Charlotte under his father, Bernie Bickerstaff; he was the youngest assistant in the NBA when he joined his father in Charlotte prior to the 2004-05 season. "He's an energetic guy who works well on the floor with the players," Wittman said Monday. "The last three years, with his dad, he got some experience." Said Bickerstaff: "I'm glad to be here. Minnesota has become a home for me and this organization has been good for me. I'm excited about the opportunity." Staying put As the draft approaches and the rumor mill heats up, speculation will continue on the subject of trading Kevin Garnett. According to Wolves owner Glen Taylor, nothing has changed in that department. After the season ended, he and Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin McHale said the plan was to have Garnett on the team next season. That does not mean, however, that the team wouldn't listen to offers. Taylor said he hasn't heard any serious offers from anyone. "Kevin [McHale's] plan and my plan is that he stays here," Taylor said of Garnett. "The difference is that, years ago, if a team had called [about Garnett], I wouldn't even have talked to them." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.114.197.162
