Sam "The Experiment" Cassell
The good news for the Timberwolves is that their magic number to get into the playoffs is down to 10.
The bad news is that the number of games they have left is 5.
The bad news prompted the Wolves owner, Glen Taylor, to declare that Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell were a failed experiment.
According to Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, the team's acquisitions of Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell two summers ago were a "failed experiment."When asked off record where the Wolves will try to trade Sam, Taylor replied "We've received a number of interesting proposals, but the frontrunner right now is probably Area 51."
Before Minnesota's fifth-to-last game in a terribly disappointing season, Cassell figured his time with the Timberwolves was nearing an end.
"He told me right there he don't want me back," Cassell said Wednesday when told of Taylor's critical comments. "You experiment with something, and it doesn't work. Would you try it again?"
