Report: Brandon Roy will make his comeback attempt with Timberwolves
The Minnesota Wild aren't the only pro team in the Land of 10,000 Lakes to make a big splash this week. Not to be outdone, their NBA brethren, the Timberwolves, appear to have reached an agreement with former Portland Trail Blazers All-Star guard Brandon Roy, who retired last December because of a degenerative knee condition.

Roy isn't a sure thing because of his knee, but the interest shown in him by several teams suggests that he can still be a productive NBA player.
The T-Wolves also are rumored to be in the hunt for another Trail Blazer, restricted free agent forward Nicolas Batum
, although new Portland general manager Neil Olshey on Thursday told Batum that the Blazers would match any offer.
