Let's add it all up: 1) Livingston was a guy the Wolves were interested in pre-season. 2) Livingston chose the Heat. 3) The Heat just cut him and he is pissed about being cut and about never playing. 4) He says he wants to go somewhere that he can play. 5) Kevin Ollie is out a few weeks with a dislocated elbow. 6) The Wolves' other option is Blake Ahearn from the D-League. Now, signing Livingston would...

76ers Notes MINNEAPOLIS - Kevin Ollie said the Timberwolves call themselves the "76ers of the Midwest." When told of this before last night's loss to Minnesota, Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks laughed and said: "The 76ers of the Midwest, huh?"

Players: Absolutely no comparison. If the Vikings want a player, they go get a very good NFL level starter (Jared Allen, Bernard Berrian, Pat William, Madieu Williams). If the Wolves need a player, they sign 35 year old Kevin Ollie. Edge Vikings 7-2 (10 being the best) Coaching: Well, this is a tough one. Who sucks worse, Randy Wittman or Brad Childress? Both have horrible trouble evaluating talent...

Telfair Suspended for Regular Season Opener Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News reminds us Sebastian Telfair will be at least one or two games to begin the regular season. The Wolves will start Randy Foye, and it appears Kevin Ollie or Blake Ahearn will be the backup.

Mike Bibby has gone fishing. As has Bobby Jackson and Rick Adelman. Likewise Brian Skinner. And Darius Songaila. And for what it's worth, Kevin Ollie, Louis Amundson, Tyronn Lue and Loren Woods. So whom do we live vicariously through? To whom do we attach our post King, post season allegiance? Four of the eight remaining playoff teams have former Kings on their roster: Boston has Scot Pollard and...

He’s part whacked, part amazing - but it may be the wacko half that is taking over. In the last week Gil has called Jose Calderon Kevin Ollie, revealed he used [...]

9. Trading Kevin Ollie and Kendrick Brown for Eric Snow, July 20, 2004 This one barely made the list-believe me, if we’d traded anyone of actual value for Snow, this wouldn't have made this list. Snow may well be one of the worst offensive players to ever start for an extended time for an NBA team: [...]

Kyle Korver, Rodney Carney, Jason Smith and Lou Williams have all gotten time off the bench. 10th man Calvin Booth has played sporadically. Yet, Kevin Ollie hasn't made it off the bench. Isn't there another first round pick [...]
