Ok, so who hear heard that Kevin Garnett and Flip Saunders were in LA today recruiting Karl Malone? It was printed in the St. Paul Pioneer Press yesterday, and today this was printed in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

There is no truth to the rumor that Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders and league MVP Kevin Garnett are planning to fly to California to try to convince NBA veteran Karl Malone to sign with the Wolves. Garnett is headed to Europe on a vacation. And Saunders has a commitment to speak here today. "Malone doesn't even know if he wants to play anymore," said Kevin McHale, Wolves vice president of basketball operations and general manager. "If Malone decides he wants to play, we would love to try to work something out with him."

Now who has heard the constant rumors that Wally Szczerbiak is minutes from being traded to the Caviliers or the Blazers or the Knicks? Well those stories are all printed in the Pioneer Press aswell, and everytime they are printed the next day the Star Tribune comes out with quotes from Kevin McHale saying that he hasn't even talked to anybody about the deals.
To me this is getting kind of rediculous that they keep printing speculation and calling it fact. I think that this paper is just doing it so that when it makes the national media (since it always does) it will say "The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports..." I already sent an email to their offices complaining about this false reporting, if anybody else wants to here is the address:
