the Cleveland offer, they can wait."
Sheridan said the Cleveland offer of No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins, 2013

Miami), might be an easier sell to the Timberwolves fan base.

felony gun charge to avoid jail time.

to serve outside of New York. He also was ordered to pay a $5,000

if he fulfills the sentence.
Felton, 30, was charged with possession of a large-capacity
ammunition firearm when his then-wife turned in the weapon to police
as they began divorce proceedings.
