    I say if he can't get you to the promised land in 8 trips to the playoffs, drop it like it's hot.

    I sure wouldn't mind seeing us bringing him in as an assistant. This guy is probably the best X's and O's coach in the business. Could do wonders for a coach that "can't coach offense."

    Just an idea though......

    Good one. Best player in the league would have produced more. BPITL he has never been.

    the thing is that up until 2 years ago every time the wolves were in the playoffs they've always been the lower seed/underdogs. Maybe they could have upset a team but generally you dont see too many upsets in the first round. It wasnt until 2 years ago when they had homecourt for the first time, but Stern extended the first round to 7 games and they played the lakers (3-peat defending at the time) who made a late season surge to take the 5th spot and even then they werent expected to win the series. I would say it wasnt till last year where they were no longer the underdog and they made it all the way to the wcf.

    KG has been surrounded by mediocre players ever since "starbury" left. brandon got injured and never played again and then the whole joe smith fiasco hurt them bad because they had no first round picks for what 5 years? that not only made it difficult to some decent players around KG but also hurt them in any trade possibilities because they had no first round picks to trade.

    it was basically the wolves maximized with what they had and as you saw last year they became the best team (record wise) in the league, but after the mediocre start this year with essentially the same roster, in fact probably a better one with a healthy hudson,eg,healty wally and kandi they arguably should be a top 4 seed again. Flip got canned this season because he could not produce results of last season despite having a good talent surrounding KG. I dont see how McHale will be any better but Minnesota is a mess right now hopefully they will move some players or just shelve this season, clear house and try to rebuild something for next year this offseason. KG is still only 29 and has a solid 5-6 years still in him.

    Flip is a good coach, top 5 in the league perhaps.... But when 2 or your 3 best players quit because they are sulking bia*****, you cant go anywhere and the coach is almost always the BaaAhAhaaH, GOAT.

    the question is. . .where does he land

    IMO Toronta HAS TO BE the front runner
    no way Mitchell survives the off season

    Don't be suprised to see him wind up in LA.
