I would like Presti and PJ Carlesimo back... :depressed

Then again, I have not completely lost my faith in Pop. I just hope he doesn't go into full stubborn mode like in '06 and small ball.

An individual like Presti would be cool... I really don't have a gauge on how good PJ Carlismo was for us...

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor appears focused on hiring an outside candidate to lead his team, an indication he is prepared to make sweeping organizational changes soon that would include Kevin McHale's departure after 16 years with the franchise, 14 years as the basketball operations boss.

Taylor said Sunday afternoon that he has not extended a job offer yet and is completing final reference checks in a search he hopes to complete in the next week or two.

He refused to address chatter around the NBA that he has narrowed his search to a short list that includes San Antonio vice president/assistant general manager Dennis Lindsey and Cleveland assistant general manager Lance Blanks, citing a promise he said he made to all candidates to keep the process confidential.

Both Lindsey and Blanks have Spurs connections and Minny will need a new coach. So I wouldn't be surprised to see coach Bud also leaving SA to be Wolves' coach.

Spurs will maybe need a new lead assistant coach. The most logical would be internal promotion or to bring back PJ but I don't know if PJ is still interested by that role and if Pop values enough one of his assistant to give him the lead assistant job.
