Cole Aldrich and his wife were in Italy when the former Bloomington Jefferson big man signed a 3-year, $22 million free agent deal with the Timberwolves.
Thursday he was on the phone from Helsinki, Finland.
"We're getting spoiled," he said.
It's been quite the summer of travel for Aldrich, who is in Finland as part of the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program. Run in conjunction with FIBA, it is an instruction and development program for teenage players. In this case Aldrich and Timberwolves assistant Ryan Saunders are at the camp, which is drawing players from all around Europe.
