Yahoo's Adrian W. does a drive-by on David Kahn

Damn brutal piece... fun read (at least for some of us):

Perhaps it won’t be long until panic starts to set into the Minnesota Timberwolves, where two things need to become increasingly clear: They’re far overvaluing Al Jefferson’s(notes) trade value; and Syracuse’s Wesley Johnson is no longer assured to be available to them with the fourth pick in Thursday’s NBA draft.

... Under general manager David Kahn, the Wolves are becoming the organization that no one wants to send players. Kahn’s condescending, abrasive style is frustrating to rival GMs and agents because few people believe he has the background, knowledge or credentials to even hold the job. To his credit, Kahn did hire a personable assistant GM, Tony Ronzone, who can work the phones for him.

Nevertheless, Cousins wouldn’t work out for the Wolves. Nor did Georgetown center Greg Monroe, who traveled to the two teams in the next two spots, Sacramento and Golden State. Favors reluctantly worked out for the Wolves only to have Kahn insult him by calling him “out of shape.” This infuriated Favors’ agent Wallace Prather, and has strained the relationship there. It makes no sense for the Wolves to draft another power forward, anyway.

Kahn is dangerous to the league.

This guy's a moron. First he goes and drafts Rubio and Flynn. Rubio is never going to play for him and now he's already shopping Flynn. Then he drafts Lawson (a right pick) and trades him away for garbage. Now he's stuck a disgruntled star who is out of position and a budding star, Love, who is for some reason coming off the bench.

Just baffling.
