The Minnesota Timberwolves just announced the team has signed restricted free-agent center Ryan Hollins to an offer sheet. Under the terms of the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Dallas Mavericks will have seven days upon receiving the offer sheet to match Minnesota's offer. Per team policy, terms of the contract offer were not disclosed.
"We are excited about the opportunity to have Ryan Hollins on our team," said David Kahn, Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations. "He is a lengthy, athletic center, with a lot of upside, who should complement Al and Kevin really well. We've had our eye on him the past several weeks and we are optimistic we can acquire him through this process."
Hollins, a 7-0 center from UCLA, was originally selected with the 50th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Bobcats. He spent two-plus seasons with Charlotte before being traded to Dallas on Jan. 16, 2009. In 132 career games with the Bobcats and Mavericks, Hollins has averaged 2.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per game while shooting 51.8 percent from the field. He also appeared in nine playoff games for the Mavericks this spring, grabbing 24 total rebounds while shooting 57.1 percent from the field as Dallas advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals.
Minny overpaid for a guy who has been a fourth stringer..but he's young and may be able to blossom in that young front court.

How is he overpaid when we don't know how much he is getting paid? Or do you???
We do know how much he was paid my faith full reader. Hollin's contract is for 3 years $7 million. For a guy that has career averages of 3.2 ppg and 2.2 rpg it's overpaying especially when you have vets like Marquise Daniels, Theo Ratliff and even Shelden "I'm Married to Candice Parker" Williams taking or going to take vet minimum deals
