 Re: Articles worth mentioning II
Quote: AUBURN HILLS -- Your franchise is a mess. Your team has little to no chance of being competitive this season. Your general manager is being shredded in the media. What do you do?
Well, if you are Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, you blame it all on Flip Saunders, the guy he fired three years ago, just months after Saunders led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals.
Talk about revisionist history -- this is a classic.
In a rambling and bizarre interview with the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Taylor said, "I probably would say, just as I like Flip and he's a good friend of mine and he gets a lot of the credit, I think a lot of these things people are saying Kevin (McHale, the general manager) did, I would tell you probably Flip did them and Kevin got criticized for them."
KG says, 'Well, I really liked it when Flip was here; when we got rid of Flip, that's what made it bad for me | I know who the source is for the above, but this time he is right on. Owner blames Pistons' Saunders for Timberwolves' woes
