Alexey Shved: I have preference to stay here

Alexey Shved is rumored to be on the trade biock. The Russian point guard has a contract with the Timberwolves for this season ($3.15) and next season.

Coach Rick Adelman admitted that Shved is not playing week while the Russian would love to stay with the team.

Per Fox Sports North, Appearing in all but one of Minnesota's 15 games, the lanky 24-year-old is shooting 24.4 percent from the field (10-for-41) and 15 percent from 3-point range (3-for-20) in 9.4 minutes per contest.
Shved is due to earn $3.15 million this season and is under contract through next year.
Shved knows, it, too. When discussing his early-season woes with reporters, he explained without provocation that he doesn't want to leave the team that signed him as a free agent in July 2012.
But he wants to see the floor, too.
"I have preference to stay here," Shved said in his thick Russian accent, "but if I want to play more, I've got to work more."
"It's tougher to play without the ball," Shved said. "You can do nothing. You can play with the ball, you can play bigger role, make shots; but without the ball, it's hard."
"It's more easier if you play all the time," Shved said. "It's like if you played 25, 30 minutes, it'd be more easier for everybody. It's just hard when you come in with not a lot of time, but you need to do your best for five, 10 minutes. How many minutes coach gives you doesn't matter, you just need to play 100 percent."
