Can't wait to see those mock turtle necks on the sidelines.
If he is as good as coach as he is a gm, t'wolves fan should be moving on to a new team. Bucks maybe? Bulls?
 
The dude is just doing anything he can to save his job. What is amazing to me, is that after years of horrible personnel decisions, and multiple coach firings, is that he still has his job.

Agreed. The guy that is doing the firing is the one that needs to be fired.

Beat me to it, dpc.

Especially when they play the Celtics. McHale has been a pretty good GM for Boston, unfortunately, Minny was paying him.

You couldn't have said that better. :cheers:
 
Is the plan to make Wittman the new GM, then? Because that would be good news for Wolves fans.
 
Well, I guess Kevin McHale is walking through that door.

Hardy har har.

Let me add to the chorus of sports fans the world over who express dismay on an hourly basis that McHale is still employed as a GM.

I wonder if it's more or less insulting to be hired by an entirely incompetent boss?

Ask Lions fans how well this will turn out for them....I think McHale=Millen.

I always wonder what kind of security a guy like McHale has around him, I would have good security if I were him.

Good Pitino reference there, but I think "lumbering" is more apt. Or perhaps "shambling".

Now we have an answer to "who's worse than Mike Dunleavy at both jobs"?

Easy one - Isiah Thomas.

Seriously, McHale is now the Isiah Thomas of the North without a sexual harrassment case against him.

BNM
 
But Isiah (to his credit?) never tried to circumvent NBA rules for Joe Smith's HoF-level services.

So he's got that going for him.
 
Isiah Thomas also drafted decently. The same can't be said for McHale (and drafting Roy and Mayo, only to deal them on draft day, doesn't count).
 
Didn't McFail also draft KG? He did draft decently (or more than that) at least once.

Yup. One great pick. Shame, for Minnesota, that the vision and boldness he showed at the time (as Garnett was considered a very risky, controversial pick at the time) was not to be a repeated trait.
 
I'm reminded of the story:

KG was at a draft workout for 13 teams. Ballhandling, shooting, etc. He rolled in, stretched his quads a couple of times by pulling on his foot, and announced he was ready to go. Nervous, he couldn't do much of anything well. Scouts started leaving. KG was feeling really bad about himself.

McHale had one of his assistants place a quarter on top of the backboard. "Go get it", McHale said. KG did, and the rest is history. KG was projected at mid-1st round....not even lottery. And McHale picked him in part b/c he pulled a quarter off the top of a backboard.

That's thinking outside the box, ladies and germs.

Outlaw did that, too. The quarter test sure separates the Hall of Famers from the rest.
 
Well, the good news is as long as McHale is involved with Minnesota, they'll never go anywhere. I hope he signs a 10-year extension.
