Sam Cassell expects and hopes to be back in Minnesota this coming season.

"I expressed my feelings about some things that went on that I didn't like," said Cassell, who has one season remaining on his contract. "And they expressed their feelings about some things that went on that they didn't like. We came to a mutual agreement. I know for a fact that Kevin Garnett wants me back here."

Cassell also said he does not regret complaining about his contract situation in the preseason.

"It didn't disrupt me," he said. "I didn't want it to get out. That's what I pay my agent for, to make suggestions like that. My job is for me to get ready next year. I'm going to be back. You better believe it."
