Ouch!
If it was going to be a big deal i think a reworked deal should be done. I don't know about particulars but if its legal (like McHale worries about THAT) maybe a extension could be worded in there if he meets certain incentives. This is the latest.
Cassell headed to Twin Cities

A day after skipping the Timberwolves' mandatory media day without explanation, Wolves point guard Sam Cassell took a flight to the Twin Cities on Tuesday and could join the team in Collegeville by Wednesday.
But his agent, Dr. Charles Tucker, did not indicate whether Cassell's arrival would indicate an imminent end to the enigmatic guard's contract dispute.
Although Cassell missed the Wolves' first training camp practice Tuesday morning, Tucker said it was "unfair to call (Cassell's absence) a holdout."
Tucker on Monday told the FAN that Cassell was unhappy with his current contract, which will pay him $5.65 million this season, and planned to sit out for an unspecified length of time. His whereabouts were not clear.
Cassell, 34, is signed through the 2005-06 season. He has the fourth-highest salary on the team.
The former Florida State standout averaged 19.8 points and 7.3 assists in 81 games last season. He posted 16.6 points and 4.4 assists in 16 postseason appearances, but missed two games with hip and back injuries.
Cassell had surgery in June to repair torn cartilage in his hip. He was expected to be healthy enough to open training camp on time.
WOLVES TO SIGN GRIFFIN?
Troubled forward Eddie Griffin took a physical Tuesday morning in Collegeville, and was expected to sign a contract within 24 hours.
The 6-foot-10, 240-pound former Seton Hall star spent time with New Jersey last season but did not play before the club waived him in February.
Griffin, 22, entered the Betty Ford Center for alcohol abuse in January and later entered another residential alcohol treatment program. He plead guilty in March to a misdemeanor charge of deadly conduct stemming from an incident in October 2003, and was sentenced to 18 months probation.
He also was convicted of marijuana possession in January.
Selected seventh overall by New Jersey in the 2001 NBA Draft, Griffin was traded to Houston for the draft rights to Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins and Brandon Armstrong.
In 150 career games, all with Houston, Griffin has averaged 8.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. He has 90 career starts.
