Wed Sep 19 2012 | 08:10 | Report: Williams, Whiteside in T-Wolves mix |
Sean Williams and Hassan Whiteside remain "in the mix" for the Timberwolves, according to ESPN 1500's Darren Wolfson. |

Tue Sep 11 2012 | 08:31 | Report: T-Wolves still talking Sean Williams |
The Timberwolves still have unrestricted FA Sean Williams "on the radar." |

Fri Aug 31 2012 | 14:55 | Timberwolves eyeing F/C Sean Williams? |
The Timberwolves are said to be interested in taking a look at recently waived F/C Sean Williams. |
GM David Kahn is supposedly talking to a number of agents about adding a post-player to Minnesota's rotation, but to sign anyone for more than the league minimum, they would have to trade or cut a guard first to make a signing fit under the salary cap. Anthony Tolliver, Mehmet Okur and Hassan Whiteside have also been mentioned as potential big man targets for the Timberwolves. Williams would not offer any fantasy value this season in Minnesota. |

Sean Williams, who was recently called up from the D-League, was impressive in 15 minutes off the Mavericks' bench on Thursday. |
