big al is a MVP candidate?

Chris Sheridan thinks so. He has him at #5 on a list of top 10 candidates for MVP...

KD, Bron, Noah, Duncan, Griffin, George (though he's struggled post-AS break), Harden, Love, Paul, Curry. I don't see any logical way how Big Al is top-five. Maybe not even top-10 honestly.

I might be one of the few Kahn supporter here by saying this....he brought 2 things that we never thought we get---Rubio and Adelmen.

We might take those two names for granted now. But just recall for a second how remarkable that was for our franchise to land such landmark pieces (at the time). No one ever dreamt Ricky would come here. All of the media kept saying that he would eventually want to head out to somewhere bigger or warmer.

After Rambis---our interviews went to Mike Woodson, Don Nelson, Sam Mitchell, Bickerstaff, Terry Porter and Larry Brown. And a simple call to Adelman. Rick is easily the best guy here.

Let's also not forget the nightmare hell (cap wise) that we were in when he took over. Some of Kahn's choices are debated, but he got the team back to being flexible again. Some of you guys have to realize that running a team----you can't expect everyone to be super good yet be on that rookie contract all of the time. Look below and go back a few years.

As it stands today, we---the current Wolves team---have little to no wiggle room to get anyone here. We have to win with this current team!
