I just want to ask whether Singapore or China have Wolves shops or not. -- Zheng Tianyou, Singapore A: You can actually order things online to be sent to you. Try our website, or www.nba.com. But if that doesn't work for you, try these two Chinese sites courtesy of our friend Chen Zhou here in Minneapolis: http://www.gouwu8.com/shop/product.asp?id=1971; http://shop.nnsky.com/goodsinfo.asp?gid=100336491. Q: I live in Puerto Rico, but I'm a huge Timberwolves fan!! I even fly there once a year to see you play (All For KG)!! For this up coming Draft if you don't get one of the top 2 picks. I think you should consider bring in some international players!! Like Yi Jianlian -- he can play SF, PF or even C if he gets some weight. He is an excellent free throw shooter for a big man. Look at Toronto for example in just one year they bring some talents from overseas, team players with an exceptional work ethic, the things the Wolves lack now (Except for KG and The Youngest) and they improved by 20 wins this season!! -- Tommy, Orocovis, Puerto Rico A: Plus, any team that gets Yi gets a massive marketing push. We'll see who's there at No. 7. Q: How long will it take for KG to have enough talent behind him to go all the way and finally win a championship? -- Rob, Prior Lake, MN A: That's a good question Rob, and we all wish we had an answer. KG still has several good years left, and including this year's first-round pick, the Wolves now have a solid stable of young talent, including Foye, Smith, and McCants. One of those youngsters needs to emerge into a true superstar to complement the Big Ticket. Who do you think it'll be? Q: Hey!! What's up guys? -- Mariah (age 12), Albert Lea, MN A: Hi Mariah. Thanks for the shout out. Suffice it to say that we're extremely busy getting ready for June 28, the summer league in Vegas and training camp. Q: I know I might be asking a little too much but I was wondering if you could ever come over for my birthday party or the last day of school? -- Joshua, MN A: You know what Josh, we'd love for the players to be able to do things like that, but unfortunately none of them are in town right now. We do have a few suggestions for a sweet b-day bash: Chuck E. Cheeses, a Lynx game or Twins game, a Lake Minnetonka beach party or...We don't know. Hey, maybe you should tell us what some cool b-day parties are these days? Write us back. Q: After seeing Randy Foye explode during his rookie debut in the NBA, do you think he will follow in the footsteps of The Big Ticket as being the next generation superstar for this franchise in years to come? -- Jason, Blaine, MN A: Like we told Rob, we certainly hope so. He's shown all the signs that he can do it with continued growth. He's incredibly gifted athletically, he has good mechanics on his jump shot, he's a very capable defender and, perhaps most importantly, he really, really wants to be great. His work ethic has impressed everyone at Target Center and around the league, and no one will be surprised if he turns into the next Wolves superstar. Q: Guten Tag from Deutschland!! I moved from Minnesota to Germany a little over 5 years ago now. Thanks to NBA TV, I think I have converted the people in my town to KG and Timberwolves fans. There still is some opposition from Football (sorry Soccer) and Dirk, but I think I can sway them ;-) Especially when the Wolves get back to post season prominence, which leads to my draft question: Aside from obvious (Oden and Durant), will the Wolves be targeting a "ready to contribute" kind of player, a multi-year player in college kind of guy, or more of a "project" player? Good luck with the lottery!! Komm nach Wesel if you are ever in the country. -- Francis, Wesel, Germany A: Mr. Wesel, make sure to stay tuned to www.timberwolves.com throughout this month, because we'll be breaking down each player we rank in the top 10 (and perhaps some others) for your reading pleasure. Our interns are scouring the Internet to dig up every single article on the prospects, and we'll make sense of it before regurgitating it to the public. Q: Who would win a fight between Crunch, Chuck Norris, '24' superstar Jack Bauer and your Timberwolves interactive services guy with the impossibly long name (Scott Spiridi-whatchamacallit)? -- John Paul, Northfield, MN A: First of all, it's Spiridigliozzi. Get it straight, please. Secondly, while "Spear," Crunch, and Chuck Norris are all quite tough, it's obvious that Jack Bauer would kill everybody. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" A good Chuck Norris joke for you on the way out: Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs. Q: What reality TV show is Kobe Bryant auditioning for? -- Phil, Los Angeles, CA A: We're not sure, but it would be sweet if he were the next " --
