It appears that way. sportstearsinourbeers.blogspot.com/2011/06/rambis-fired.html DK is at it again. He wants to run this team on his own terms. But why? Just when something positive happens, you bring a negative. Don’t get me wrong, I want Rambis gone, but the timing couldn’t be any worse.

All that needs to be said is this. 3 drafts, two of which we didn’t have a coach.

How is a team supposed to get better, when we don’t have a coaches say on who they want and how they can turn a college player into a superstar. DK, we have your dance move. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Kahn is nothing more then a sideshow for the league. Especially around draft time. I’m not saying firing Rambis was a good move bad move but the fact he drag this decsion on for months and months and continued to leave Rambis fate in the wind only to make this decison now on draft day speaks a lot of his true character and the type of gm he is…

[Sports Tears In Our BeersParticipant]

Couldn’t agree more. There was no need to drag it out. Unless they have been in talks with a new coach and that coach will be in the war room or at least have a say. This was stupid. DK, you aren’t McHale, you can’t GM and coach. If that is what you want to be, move it to the local 6th grade traveling team.

And that’s saying something, he was downright awful last year, it really seemed at times like he didn’t give a shit even though he was the one who requested to acquire 75% of the players on their roster.  This wasn’t meant to come out until after the Draft, but Kahn had a meeting with Taylor yesterday and basically said Rambis has fucked up enough rookies, none have developed like they should, we just sold an additional 500 season tickets in the past couple of days because of Rubio, do you want Rambis to fuck up Rubio too?  Taylor has lost over $100M the past five seasons on the Wolves and he wasn’t leaving anything to chance with his money maker (Rubio).  What’s funny, is that even Rambis doesn’t know he’s going to be fired, the decision was made yesterday, I’m sure who ever was in the meeting with Kahn and Taylor leaked this information to that Woj guy on Yahoo and he ran with it.  Good riddance, the only reason it wasn’t done earlier was that Taylor was worried he’d have to pay two coaches during the lockout, especially tough for a guy who’s lost as much as he has on the Wolves, but when Rubio finally arrived and he saw the local hoopla surrounding this guy and the increased season ticket sales he had to get rid of Rambis.  Worst coach in Wolves history.

I would say worst coach in the history, just because of the way he acted. You are right, he didn’t ever seem like he cared. Like I said in a post last week on our blog. This team needs a college type coach. Someone that will get in the players face when they mess up. Rambis acted as if this was the Lakers and he could sit back and it would work itself out.

 a while that this was going to happen actually, I remember an interview with kahn that was posted here maybe 2-3 months ago and they brought up the wolves defense  and kahn said he had no idea why it was so bad. kahn has actually put together a solid roster except for a 2 guard and I am quite sure he has no idea what rambis has been trying on defense, I think it is rambis lack of caring and lack of caring about defense that got him fired. t-wolves have a good young roster and unbeknownst to most a good g.m in kahn, a good coach will bring this team together and highlight what it can be.

The Wolves need to fire all the leaks in their front office. They really hurt the team.  Rambis is just an atrocious coach, but if they bring in Bickerstaff… ugh.

 I would like to see eric musselman given another shot  he has  head coaching experience and he has interviewed in the past with the celtics, bulls , and nets. his father really stressed defense and I think his son given another chance would make an excellent head coach.

 * Runner-up, NBA Coach of the Year, 2002–2003

he also has experience with bad teams  coaching the kings and warriors and he got them to a 44 winning percentage

if they hired him I am sure the wolves would go .500 next year

I seriously hope Glen Taylor keeps losing money at that rate. Maybe then, he’d sell the team to somebody who cares about putting out a good basketball team. Then that person would get rid of Kahn and hire a quality GM and coach. That’d be the best thing to happen to the Wolves in a LOOONG time.

I don’t think Kahn is terrible as much as his coach is terrible.  He’s aquired good assets on the cheap and Flynn would look worlds better if not for Rambis. I say give Kahn 1 more year.
