Speaking from Russia on Thursday, new Timberwolves forward Andrei Kirilenko listed the reasons — beyond $10 million a season, of course –why he chose to resume his NBA career in Minnesota.

“It’s very flattering when the G.M., the coach, players are calling you and saying, ‘We need you, we need your experience,”’ he said of a courtship process that included numerous telephone calls as well as $20 million guaranteed over the next two seasons if Kirilenko wants it.
