Wally Szczerbiak has heard all the whispers and the rumors surrounding his future in the league, but he isn't letting it get to him.

"People for some reason forget what I was capable of doing when I was healthy," Szczerbiak said after a recent practice. "I just came in, worked hard, wanted to be ready to go and kind of remind people what I did for a few years in this league."

Word from his teammates is that Szczerbiak has been doing exactly this during training camp, and he looks ready to once again make his mark in the league.  But will it be in Minnesota?

"I've had a great experience with the Timberwolves," Szczerbiak said. "It's been a real fun five years. But I'm prepared, if I get traded, to go kick butt somewhere else. That's how you've got to be in this business."

"I've heard those rumors time and time again," Szczerbiak said, who has been linked to both Portland and New York during the offseason. "But I'm still here, so obviously they think we can both help them. Trenton (Hassell) and I are both committed to helping them win."
