Sonics, Spurs, Pistons And Wolves Ready To Go After EvansRoger Montgomery, Maurice Evans' agent, said Saturday the Kings have not aggressively attempted to retain his client. "Based on their recent acquisitions," Montgomery said, "I would have to infer the Kings are not really into re-signing Maurice. They have not been proactive pre-Bonzi Wells and post-Bonzi Wells. So I'm led to infer they have other plans that don't include Maurice." The Timberwolves, Spurs, Pistons and Sonics all appear interested in Evans.

Madsen, a free agent, is a strong rebounder and defender coming off the bench. He had surgery in March to repair a ruptured ligament in his shooting wrist and was clearly missed by Minnesota, which failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 1996. "I'm extremely excited to be back in Minnesota," the 6-9, 245-pound forward said. Madsen was being wooed by other teams — reportedly Washington and Utah — but he felt staying in Minnesota was the best fit. He had contact with coach Dwane Casey and vice president for basketball operations Kevin McHale during the negotiation process, and he said a call from team owner Glen Taylor was especially important to him.
