Seven-year veteran Lou Amundson has been around long enough to know how the NBA works, to know that by Friday he could be traded or waived so the Timberwolves can resign Mickael Gelabale and Chris Johnson for the rest of the season. Amundson了解聯盟的生態，如果球隊要回簽Mickael Gelabale與Chris Johnson， 那他了解自己將會是被交易或是被剔除的那位球員。 His agent has been talking to other teams about a possible trade, and Amundson in turn has been talking to his agent about whether the Wolves can deal him to a playoff contender for a protected second-round pick or if they'll waive him to clear a roster spot the Wolves will need if they intend to keep both players. Amundson的經紀人已經開始為可能的交易與其他球隊展開聯繫，Amundson也 與他的經紀人探討是否球隊會以需要留下這兩名自由球員的限制規定，而會將他 交易至季後賽的競爭隊伍中換取一個受保護的二輪簽。 "It's a business, so you have to think ahead with that stuff," Amundson said. "Everything's on the table right now. You never like to get traded, but sometimes the situation isn't what you hope it to be, and so it can work out for the best sometimes." Amundson：「儘管你不願意，但這就是個生意，任何球員都有被擺到臺上的那一天。」 Amundson, 30, was signed just before training camp to a one-year veteran's minimum contract. He has sat out 17 of the past 27 games before Monday's game against Portland. "Obviously, it has been a disappointing season for me so far," Amundson said. "I haven't played as much as I would have liked. This possibility has been on my mind for a while now. I just try not to think about it too much. But at the same time, I'm a basketball player. I want to play. I work hard at it. I want to do what I love." Amundson：「本季對我來說是個失望的球季，但我還是壓牢著那不安情緒，每天 不斷努力訓練著我自己，期望球隊需要我能隨時上場做個NBA球員， 這一值以來都是我最喜愛的一件事。」 --
