Sure doesn’t look like the GM hiring is going to be this week now. I’d think what’s going on are negotiations. The question is whether Glen Taylor is willing to give a guy like Lindsey the kind of autonomy and (financial) resources he’d want to make the move. That includes, I’d think, the freedom to hire who he wants as coach, the assistant coaches and front-office guys he wants to keep, or doesn’t want to. I’d bet Taylor wants to keep people under contract for next season and beyond to save the money, but if you’re going to make a bold new move you’ve got be willing to give the new guy power and leeway to build his organization. That’s the BIG question now, I’m sure. I think Taylor liked this by-committee approach they’ve used the last couple seasons because it’s how he runs his other businesses. He listens to his top people’s opinions and then he makes the final decision. That’s NOT how it works with functional sports teams.



Timberwolves forward Kevin Love had to settle for a consolation prize Thursday when he was named to the NBA's all-rookie second team.

Love, who led all rookies with 9.1 rebounds per game and 29 double-doubles, finished seventh in the voting by NBA head coaches with 34 points.



The Western Conference Rookie of the Month for March, Love joins Felton Spencer, Kevin Garnett and Craig Smith as Timberwolves rookies to earn second team honors. Pooh Richardson, Christian Laettner, Isaiah Rider, Stephon Marbury, Wally Szczerbiak and Randy Foye all earned first team honors during their rookie seasons in Minnesota.



Second-teammer, Kevin Love, who ranked third in the NBA in offensive rebounds (first per minute), making him, as the TWolves’ presser made clear to point out, “the first rookie to lead the League in the former category since Akeem Olaujuwon in ‘84-85.” Still no word from Kevin on this honor.
