-New Wolves President David Kahn’s contract is believed to be for four years.<\/em><\/p>\n -The Timberwolves have renewed 51 percent of their nearly 6,000 full-season equivalent season tickets but have sold out their 124-seat Target Center Cambria Club at per-seat prices of $99 a game. <\/em><\/div>\n But that doesn’t mean he’s been out of touch.<\/em><\/div>\n
“There’s no question as I’ve gotten older, well, you just get older,” Kahn said. “You mature. You change. I hope I’m better at that than I used to be. You have to be a certain way, depending on what your job is.”<\/em>
Kahn calls the notion that he doesn’t possess the savvy to lead an NBA franchise an “outdated, out-of-context impression” that is based on his role as the No. 2 man to Walsh in Indianapolis. He calls Pacers co-owner Herb Simon and Walsh both “really nice men” and compared Simon in many ways to his new boss, Taylor.<\/em><\/div>\n
Former Wolves center Dean Garrett, an assistant coach for Kahn with the Albuquerque T-birds, said the league is more than just a training ground for players. It’s also a good talent pool for front-office types.<\/em><\/div>\n
