Minnesota Timberwolves’ President David Kahn has been none too shy about making roster moves this offseason.

Those moves have been received with mostly negative reviews. Most people wonder if Kahn has a clue what he’s doing or if he’s just playing the NBA version of musical chairs.
What isn’t being said enough is that regardless of the Timberwolves’ success next season, David Kahn should be commended for not sitting on his rear end.
Rather than wait and see what last year's squad could do after playing another year together and ultimately risk another disappointing season, Kahn elected to change the look and style of his team.
Under head coach Kurt Rambis, the Timberwolves will continue to run the triangle offense. However, it won’t be the inside-out game that bored fans last year.
Gone is low-post stud Al Jefferson and fan favorite Ryan Gomes. In is the versatile and explosive Michael Beasley [Miami], and sharp-shooting Martell Webster [Portland]. These two are expected to come in and join the starting unit. They'll add balance and scoring punch to one of the lowest-scoring units in the NBA last season.
Also coming with them is lottery pick Wesley Johnson [Syracuse University] and floor general Luke Ridnour [Milwaukee]. They too are expected to join Michael Beasley and Martell Webster in the starting unit. |
