At 1-3, the Wolves look to finish Summer League on a positive note on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls in the final game. Comprehensive coverage begins at 5 PM Central on timberwolves.com.
Wyn at Canis Hoopus posts a recap of Friday’s win over the Wizards in Las Vegas.
From Sid Hartman:
The latest Timberwolves coaching candidate to be interviewed by President of Basketball Operations David Kahn is Jeff Bzdelik, the former Denver Nuggets coach now at the University of Colorado. Bzdelik led the Nuggets to a 43-39 record in 2003-04, a 26-game improvement from the year before; eighth-seeded Denver then lost to the Wolves in the first round of the playoffs. He was fired in December 2004 and has been in the NCAA ever since, first at Air Force and with the Buffaloes since 2007.
Others rumored as candidates include Houston Rockets assistant coach Elston Turner, a dark horse; and Los Angeles Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis, who probably would command more than Wolves owner Glen Taylor would want to pay.
According to the website HoopsHype.com, the Wolves don’t have a single player among the 30 highest-paid NBA players. Al Jefferson is the highest-paid Wolves player with a $12 million salary for 2009-10; his contract calls for $13 million, $14 million and $15 million the following three seasons. HoopsHype also lists the Wolves’ team payroll 24th in the 30-team NBA at $54.9 million.

New Timberwolves President David Kahn fully endorsed the team’s trade of Kevin Garnett to Boston two years ago for, among reasons, to create salary-cap space.
