Kurt Rambis is doing his best to motivate Darko Milicic after the Wolves acquired him on this week.

"I want him to have a positive experience here. That's all," said Rambis "I want him to feel good about this environment, this franchise. Feel good about his abilities on the floor. Get him playing, get him having fun again, get him feeling good about basketball again. We'll deal with what comes out of it after that."

Milicic was given the option of suiting up for that night's game with Chicago, but chose to remain on the inactive list.

Rambis said he was satisfied, after an afternoon meeting, that Milicic is willing to give the Wolves a chance. "I think he's positive. He's willing to come in with open eyes, with an open mind, and see what happens," Rambis said.
