Sure doesn\u2019t look like the GM hiring is going to be this week now. I\u2019d think what\u2019s going on are negotiations. The question is whether Glen Taylor is willing to give a guy like Lindsey the kind of autonomy and (financial) resources he\u2019d want to make the move. That includes, I\u2019d think, the freedom to hire who he wants as coach, the assistant coaches and front-office guys he wants to keep, or doesn\u2019t want to. I\u2019d bet Taylor wants to keep people under contract for next season and beyond to save the money, but if you\u2019re going to make a bold new move you\u2019ve got be willing to give the new guy power and leeway to build his organization. That\u2019s the BIG question now, I\u2019m sure. I think Taylor liked this by-committee approach they\u2019ve used the last couple seasons because it\u2019s how he runs his other businesses. He listens to his top people\u2019s opinions and then he makes the final decision. That\u2019s NOT how it works with functional sports teams.<\/em><\/div>\n

From Don Seeholzer\/Pioneer Press:<\/a><\/div>\n
Timberwolves forward Kevin Love had to settle for a consolation prize Thursday when he was named to the NBA’s all-rookie second team. <\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Love, who led all rookies with 9.1 rebounds per game and 29 double-doubles, finished seventh in the voting by NBA head coaches with 34 points. <\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From the Timberwolves site: <\/a><\/div>\n
The Western Conference Rookie of the Month for March, Love joins Felton Spencer, Kevin Garnett and Craig Smith as Timberwolves rookies to earn second team honors. Pooh Richardson, Christian Laettner, Isaiah Rider, Stephon Marbury, Wally Szczerbiak and Randy Foye all earned first team honors during their rookie seasons in Minnesota.<\/em><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
From Ryne Nelson\/SLAM Online:<\/a><\/div>\n
Second-teammer, Kevin Love, who ranked third in the NBA in offensive rebounds (first per minute), making him, as the TWolves\u2019 presser made clear to point out, \u201cthe first rookie to lead the League in the former category since Akeem Olaujuwon in \u201884-85.\u201d Still no word from Kevin on this honor.<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
