I'm sure he has an advisor(s) working on this with him.

Sure but the last time Taylor did a trade he traded big Al for peanuts

Pretty sure that was Kahn and Rambis that made that trade.

Jon K reported Glenn has gotten involved in trades before. Including KG, Big Al and brewer trades

If I remember it all right Jon K actually mentioned some circumstances Al's trade in a podcast months ago. Basically Kahn wasn't really wanting Al on the team long term. Al got tired of hearing about him being traded and went to Glen and said he wanted put dice basically he wasn't wanted. Kahn was plenty willing to pull the trigger. As for the trade itself...I don't think Glen had a whole lot to do with it and I don't think Glen was excited to see Al go.

Glen is telling suitors to contact him directly. I hope/assume this means Thibs days are numbered.

Damn, I'm gonna need a new avi.

Butler needs to be traded ASAP. Glen should step in and do it. This will only get uglier as it drags. Ideally, Thibs should go with him or before him.

Promote layden to interim basis. No one will take the job this close to the season starting.

Promote one of the assistants to interim coach basis. Dont promote ryan sanders. I like the guy but it is too early too soon for him. He is 31 yrs old and while Im sure towns, wig and tyus will play hard for him. We are a vet heavy team, Will teague, rose, taj respect ryan enough to follow him? We dont have a highly respected assistant coach or a respected gm to vouch for ryan. It will be unfair to him and could ruin his future chances. Sad to say, we may have to look at the other assistants for this.

Have KAT sign the extention asap and make this his team with wiggins at his side. Its their time to step up to the plate. No more excuses for the two of them. We need to see improvement from the two.

1. Fire Thibs!
2. Tell Butler to stay away.
3. Task Layden with finding the best deal for the Wolves in the medium term. Not old vets that help now, not draft picks years down the line. Young talent and/or picks in the next two drafts.
4. Fire Thibs again, just because it feels good!
5. Find a buyer for the team. I still appreciate Glenn stepping in and saving the Wolves for Minnesota, but he's been a terrible owner for most of his tenure.
6. Offer theSP a contract! I promise I'll turn it down, but it'll make me feel good.
7. Declare the date on which Thibs was fired a Wolves holiday that will be celebrated annually by dumping player and execs who're not living up to their contracts!
8. Fire Thibs one last time, just because he's annoying as hell and a terrible basketball coach.

Just for some perspective I texted my friend that's a Bucks fan and asked who he thought the Wolves coach would be this season. He doesn't follow the league as closely as most of us here but he did predict Rubio would be traded and Butler would not stay. Lol he said Thibs would be the coach. So I said I wasn't sure Thibs was gonna be here when the season started. He said "Why would you fire your coach?" Oh man I literally doubled over in laughter for 3-4 straight minutes. Oh man I needed that.
