Timberwolves Waive Center Rafael Araujo
Minneapolis/St. Paul - The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has released center Rafael Araujo. The Timberwolves' roster now stands at 18 players.
Araujo, a 6-11 center from BYU, played five minutes (one point, two rebounds) in two preseason games for the Wolves. A former first-round pick of the Toronto Raptors, he signed with the Timberwolves on Sept. 29.
Of all the rotten timing, they couldn’t have waited until Friday?
I can't begin to describe how disappointed I am...

Based on previous trends of Timberwolves' management performance, we should pick Hoffa up immediately.

If he can't make the T-Wolves as a backup then he is not going to be in the league. Look for Araujo to be working at your local McDonalds or in Europe somewhere

Argh, all this means is that he's going to have to take even longer to develop.
