Kirk Snyder is no longer with the T-Wolves. From the Reno Gazette Journal:
http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008808160341
"Kirk Snyder and Nick Fazekas find themselves in relatively similar positions these days. The former Nevada Wolf Pack basketball teammates both have NBA experience and both have been working out for NBA teams. But both have yet to sign a contract for next season. When Snyder was in Reno in mid-June, he said he was hoping to have a deal in place shortly after the NBA free-agency period opened on July 1. Yet, it has been more than six weeks since players could sign deals and Snyder's services are still open to the highest bidder. Snyder's agent, Chris Emens, said his client has been contacted by five or six teams and he isn't in a rush to get a deal signed. "You want to see the process through in order to get the best deal for your client," Emens said. "It's really dictated by the market and how quickly it develops." Snyder, a four-year NBA veteran, became an unrestricted free agent on July 1 when the Minnesota Timberwolves declined to offer him a one-year qualifying offer worth about $3.3 million. Although Snyder had hoped to get a deal done quickly, Emens said the only timeline he has is getting a contract signed by Oct. 1 (when players report to their teams). Where Snyder and Fazekas play next year is to be determined, but Emens said he has discussed with Snyder the possibility of playing in Europe next year. That might have seemed like a stretch a few months ago but is a realistic option for NBA players after Josh Childress, Jannero Pargo, Carlos Arroyo, Nenad Krstic, Carlos Delfino and a handful of other NBA vets signed lucrative deals with European teams this offseason."
"It's something that we are considering or at least that we will evaluate," Emens said. "But with Kirk's size, strength and athleticism, that really lends himself more to the NBA."

Thanks James! I was not aware of this.

I think the author here has McCants and Foye confused. McCants was the Wolves sixth man last year and Foye was the "floor general" if you want to call him that since he was injured for the first 43 games. Telfair was more of the PG last year, but it looks like Foye will have that starting role to begin the season, and McCants will continue to provide the "secret weapon" scoring punch off the bench. More likely starting line up on opening night: Jefferson, Gomes, Brewer, Miller, Foye. Eventually, Love will likely replace Gomes in the starting role, but based on his preseason performance, that might be a couple of months until he truly gets up to speed with the NBA game.
