Wolves Updates 5/18

Tom Penn, assistant general manager of the Portland Trail Blazers, is about the only early candidate for the Timberwolves GM job who has not withdrawn from consideration. He will get the job if he can get paid compared to other GMs. Rest assured, Fred Hoiberg will have some position in the basketball administration, and if Kevin McHale wants to coach, he will be back.
Scott McCoy/Star-Telegram on bad luck NBA lottery moments:
Minnesota Timberwolves (1992): The Timberwolves had the worst record after winning 15 games in 1991-92. There were not one, but two franchise centers available in the draft. But the T’wolves wound up with the third pick and Christian Laettner. He was also a franchise player … in college. Laettner had a decent professional career but never came close to matching the impact the top two picks, Shaquille O’Neal and Alonzo Mourning, had on their teams.
From what appears to be Nic Wise’s twitter account:
