Ramon Sessions to sign an offer sheet with the Timberwolves?

According to some NBA officials, Sessions may wind up signing with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are in the market for a guard after their top choice in the 2009 draft -- Ricky Rubio -- recently decided to play for Regal FC Barcelona.

Neither Sessions nor Chubby Wells, Sessions' agent, could be reached for comment Thursday night. Ditto for Timberwolves president David Kahn.

If Sessions does sign an offer sheet with the Timberwolves, the Bucks would have seven days in which to match it. That is highly unlikely, though.

David Andersen signing with the Hawks?

Accordingly to Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo (a reputable news outlet), David Andersen is finally joining the NBA and the Atlanta Hawks.

The Australian big man had a great season with Barcelona, in his first year in the Catalan club, culminating with the ACB championship and two great games in the Euroleague Final 4.

To sum it up briefly, the article states that Andersen can exercise a clause that allows him to walk to the NBA till the 15th July, that his dream was always to play for a NBA, that he's willing to play there for the same salary he earns in Europe (€2M), that the Hawks are interested on him to replace Zaza Pachulia, who's possibly leaving. His agent made no comments except to notice that Andersen's contract allows him to leave for the NBA without any payment.

According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, neither [Kurt] Rambis nor his representative has negotiated potential terms of an offer. And while the Kings appear poised to do so, those potential discussions might not occur until the series against Orlando ends. In the interim, fellow candidates Paul Westphal (former Phoenix and Seattle head coach) and Tom Thibodeau (Boston associate head coach) might be brought in for a second interview.

Wanna bid for Paul Pierce's Chewing Gum?

It's being auctioned on E-Bay. According to the seller:

The winner of this auction will receive the following items - The Gum, the sign that he tore the corner from, the actual game ticket, the game program, and the towels that were given to all the fans to wave around and stir up a frenzy.

This is a must have package for any Boston Celtics fan, Paul Pierce fan, or any other fan of strange and odd sports memorabilia. You could also use this to harvest DNA of one of the best pro basketball players in history, and use it to clone your own team of trigger happy small forwards.

If you like to collect Celtics memorabilia this is certainly an unique package.

Larry Legend to be given an honorary Doctor of Letters at Commencement at Boston University on Sunday

And gives an interview to BU Today.

It’s different characters out there, but they’re really the same teams. The Lakers have always been the Lakers, and the Celtics will always be the Celtics. And that’s not something we started in the ’80s — that happened in the ’50s and ’60s.

He also speaks about Boston and its teams, the age limit to enter the NBA, how he wants , what the loss of Garnett means, how good is LeBron James and some other stuff. Good reading.

And one thing I really despise is a front-runner, so I know for a fact that he's a master of panic, and when it gets time for his team to go in the postseason and do certain things, he will let them down because of his panic. I've been there before, I've played for him.

Randy Livingston to coach the Maine Red Claws?

Multiple sources have hinted Idaho assistant and NBA-vet Randy Livingston will be the first head coach of the Maine Red Claws. I've been pulling for Coach Liv for awhile, so this wouldn't come as a huge surprise.

Norman Chad hates the Celtics. I'm pretty sure that every time an article like this is written, Red lights another Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur nº1 because he knows the Celtics are doing something well.
