Former Timberwolves GM David Kahn believes Nikola Pekovic is "probably aiming for a double-digit salary" as a restricted free agent during the offseason.
It's what we expected to hear, but Pekovic's free agency has the potential to turn into a monster headache for the team. The Wolves aren't good enough as currently constructed, but they can't really afford to lose Pekovic without a suitable replacement. A desperate team will throw Pekovic a multi-year offer at something like $10-12 million per season, a figure that may be difficult for Minnesota to match when looking at all of the holes on the roster. It's rare a team lets a restricted free agent leave, especially someone as critical as Pekovic is to Minnesota.

President of basketball operations David Kahn reiterated that the Timberwolves want to re-sign restricted free agent Nikola Pekovic.
Pekovic will enter the offseason as one free agent sure to draw a ton of interest, and the Wolves may have to pony up a deal worth north of $10M annually in order to keep him. Pekovic has also said that he's intent on staying with the T-Wolves, but things could change during the bidding process if a desperate team makes a big offer.

Nikola Pekovic (left calf contusion) will not play against the Spurs on Wednesday.
He tried to warm up and it would seem he's not going to be able to manage the pain. Pek had a great season, averaging 16.3 points, 8.8 boards and 0.8 blocks on 52 percent shooting, but his 20 missed games will make him a risky pick next year. Greg Stiemsma and Dante Cunningham figure to split the center duties tonight.

Nikola Pekovic is warming up and testing his calf to see if he can play in Wednesday's finale.
We should have an answer shortly as to whether he's in or out.

After undergoing knee surgery Monday, Malcolm Lee had an operation on his hip on Wednesday.
The hip procedure completes a surgery doubleheader for Lee, who faces a very lengthy and difficult rehab to get back on the court. Needless to say, he's out for the season.

Flip Saunders said there is no repair work necessary with Kevin Love before next season begins.
"I don't think so," he said when asked if there needs to be "any repair between the organization and the player." Love's lost season is raising questions about his future with the Timberwolves, but he's close to Rick Adelman and the team is confident about their future around Love. Saunders revealed that Love is about a week and a half out from doing "unlimited" physical activity, so he'll be good to go well in advance of training camp.
