Memphis has interest in Wayne Ellington, Wesley Johnson or Martell Webster – each of whom have reportedly been made available. Ellington likely is the Grizzlies' main target because of his salary. The 6-4 guard will earn a little more than $2 million this season. Johnson will make $4.2 million and Webster’s deal is for $5.7 million. Memphis Commercial Appeal

Kahn said he will wait until Saturday, June 30, the deadline to extend players' contracts, before making decisions on forwards Michael Beasley and Anthony Randolph and guard-forward Martell Webster. All three could become restricted free agents if the Timberwolves don't exercise options on their contracts by Saturday. St. Paul Pioneer Press

Kahn declined to discuss the futures of such players as Darko Milicic, Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph and Martell Webster. Beasley and Randolph will become unrestricted free agents if the team doesn't pick up rich qualifying offers for each of them. Webster's $5.7 million option for next season can be spent more wisely, and Milicic almost certainly has played his last game for Adelman. Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Michael Beasley: He’s hardly in the class of the above major players and there have been numerous rumors about a trade with the Lakers. You’d assume Minnesota would do it if they also took Martell Webster to get rid of the goofy guy factor. Beasley’s been coming off the bench and less productive of late, and you’d hardly want to pair him with Metta World, you’d think. Sort of the questionable decision to bring together Howard and Big Baby Davis, two guys a bit too fun loving. Chances of Beasley being traded: 80 percent. NBA.com

Oh, Martell. And Brad Miller's expression (at the 24-second mark of this clip) is the best, though we assume he sits and reacts like that through most Timberwolves games. Here's the team's explanation to Wolves beat writer Jerry Zgoda, working with the Minnesota Star Tribune, following the game: "We talked about we needed a three," Adelman said. "I think he caught the ball, stole it and maybe emotions got the best of him." Yahoo! Sports

Webster afterward said he was well aware of the time and situation. He said he hoped to either create a foul and 3-point play or score with enough time to foul the Nuggets yet again. "I don't know, I don't know if it was a mental thing, like I shot [a three] before that and didn't knock it down," said Webster, who missed a three with the score tied with 53 seconds left. "I just wanted to be aggressive, get to the rim, possibly get a foul. But I didn't. "Most people probably would have pulled up for the 3-point shot. Yeah, I can see why they would. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably pull up for a three. Why not?" Yahoo! Sports

They can't get into Target Center these days, so NBA stars John Wall, Joakim Noah and DeMarcus Cousins are among those expected to play in Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley's "All Star Classic" at Osseo High School -- of all places -- next week. Beasley's Wolves teammates Derrick Williams, Wes Johnson, Martell Webster, Wayne Ellington and former Wolf Sebastian Telfair are scheduled to play as well in the Friday night, Oct. 21 exhibition game. So, too, are Boston's Jeff Green, Detroit's Greg Monroe, L.A. Clippers' DeAndre Jordan, Chicago's Keith Bogans and Beasley's longtime pal, former Dukie Nolan Smith. Missing from the list -- at least for now -- is childhood buddy Kevin Durant. Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Minnesota Timberwolves wing Martell Webster isn't just trying to find a gig overseas, or a job at his local Chick-fil-a. Naw, the (sometimes) sweet-shooting small forward has decided to take to Twitter to ask R&B impresario Ryan Leslie for a gig. Not as some knob-twiddler in the studio, or as a hype man on stage. Nope, Webster wants to start from the ground up. He wants to be an intern. Yahoo! Sports
