A great find from Fasolamatt, who apparently scours the Tacoma paper looking for items of interest for us. Well, it’s paid off. It appears former Timberwolves player Wally Szczerbiak is expecting his first son to be born in a few weeks. And the boy’s name? Well, that’s already been picked out.

The SuperSonics veterans have been mentioned for weeks in trade speculation, and with the Feb. 21 trade deadline creeping closer, so too, perhaps, is the end of their careers in Seattle. For his part, Szczerbiak has packed and moved his family to his native New York – but not in anticipation of being dealt. Szczerbiak and his wife, Shannon, expect their third child and first son, Maximus, on March 1 in a scheduled C-section. (Why Maximus? Szczerbiak is a fan of the movie “Gladiator,” in which the lead character bears that name.)

Do you like Gladiator movies?
