Walker Stuck In Minnesota?

Antoine Walker is being paid a lot of money to simply sit on the bench for the Timberwolves this season, but the team doesn't plan on buying out his contract, according to the Star Tribune.

Walker was campaigning for a buyout just a few weeks ago, but Minnesota denied the request. It appears as though the Wolves won't buy him out for the 2008-09 season either.

Telfair: I'd Love N.Y. Gig

Timberwolves' guard Sebastian Telfair, who is the cousin of current Knick point guard Stephon Marbury, has said that, like Marbury, it has been his life long dream to be the point guard of the New York Knicks, the New York Post is reporting.

"I'm sure that would be great," Telfair said. "Me being from New York, watching the Knicks the majority of my life. I think it would be definitely exciting."

"A lot of players, even players not from New York, playing in Madison Square Garden every night, it's a pretty significant thing. If I got the opportunity, I would definitely enjoy it."
