http://www.startribune.com/stories/511/4893217.html Timberwolves restricted free agent Trenton Hassell will sign an offer sheet as soon as today to play for the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oregonian was reporting in Sunday's edition. The Wolves have 15 days to match Portland's offer and keep Hassell, but with the deal believed to be worth up to $27 million over six seasons, the price might be too high. Hassell, 25, played last season for the third-year minimum of $638,679 but would be paid a starting salary in 2004-05 of about $3.6 million. That would use up nealy three-quarters of the Wolves' $4.9 million mid-level exception to the salary cap. ～Minneapolis Star Tribune http://tinyurl.com/5fkdr Timberwolves vice president Kevin McHale was noncommittal Saturday night on whether the team would try to match an offer sheet that frer-agent guard Trenton Hassell agreed to sigh with the Portland Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers offered Hassell a six-year contract worth $27 million, ESPN.com reported. McHale said he hadn't received the offer sheet and didn't know what the Blazers' offer was. He said he expected to see the offer sheet Monday, the Wolves would have 15 days from the time they receive the offer sheet to decide whether to match it. ～St. Paul Pioneer Press --
