Vin Baker signed with the T-Wolves. Head coach Don Dwayne Casey (Boi-oi-oi-oi-oi-ng!!!) is quoted as saying “I know his issues. I know his disease.

Lots of Celtics stuff going on. Or at least a lot of people cover the Celtics.
If you read the last note here, Kobe Bryant admits that he’s a steroid user. Kidding! Or is he?
(he is not)
