Minnesota Timberwolves Reputation

So the Timberwolves just got done with their firing of head coach Kurt Rambis. This honestly was one of the most ridiculous processes I have ever witnessed from a pro sports franchise. Never before in my life has it taken a full three weeks for a team to hire a coach after an ESPN report has been leaked. Not only did the firing get leaked and was full blown news, but there were also reports that Kahn was already asking other coaches to come interview for the job, while Rambis was still technically hired. Here comes the knee slapper, he asks Rambis to join the front office in a pity attempt to clear up his image. So the reason you want to fire this guy is because he doesn't share the same basketball ideologies as you, but then you want to pick his brain for personal decisions? Clearly a public relations move.

Luckily for Kahn, he has a large vocabulary and makes some sense when he talks. He uses twisted - delusional logic to justify each of his actions. For example, he said that the reason he took so long to fire Rambis is that he wanted to make absolutely sure that he was making the right decision. How long does it take to make the absolute right decision? Why didn't you fire him before the draft so you knew what kind of team to build? I think it's because he wanted to draft this team all by himself without Rambis. He didn't even let Rambis be apart of the draft process, which is a messed up situation. If you don't want him apart of that, how can you expect him to coach the team, just fire him already.

For the Timberwolves, all this is a huge blow for the franchise. What Kahn needs to understand is that even if he thought he needed that much time to make that decsision, which he didn't, (who needs three months to decide whether to fire someone or not?) it's his reputation that matters too. Everyone in the league thinks he's an idiot whose running the team into the ground so no one will want to work for him. For example, when he wants to find a new coach, he probably will have a hard time doing so after what he did to Rambis. Also, free agents. Whose going to want to sign with a team run by this guy? Not me and not anyone.
