Wolves Sign Hollins To Offer Sheet

August 3, 2009 | Filed underTimberwolves,Wolves Fantasy | Posted by

The Minnesota Timberwolves signed Dallas Mavericks’ restricted free-agent center Ryan Hollins to an offer sheet, giving the Mavericks seven days to match the offer.  The offer is reportedly a three-year contract for $7 million, according to league sources.

According to Art Garcia (NBA.com), the Mavericks will not pass on the offer.  Mavericks’ GM Donnie Nelson apparently sent a text message to NBA.com confirming it.

Hollins, 24, averaged 2.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, primarily as a reserve center.

Hollins was selected out of UCLA in the 2006 NBA draft by the Charlotte Bobcats. He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks after two-plus seasons.

Timberwolves President David Kahn calls Hollins an athletic center who should fit in well on the frontcourt with Kevin Love and Al Jefferson.
