Lawrence: Moor to have major voice E-mail

It's not surprising that the Timberwolves hired David Kahn as GM and didn't bother to call Larry Harris, Bernie Bickerstaff or Billy King, all of whom have run NBA teams and had expressed interest in their GM vacancy.

In filling the league's last GM opening, the T-Wolves went with Kahn, a non-basketball exec, who will work with Rob Moor, the team's CEO who also happens to be owner Glen Taylor's son-in-law.

In what could be a risky move, the T-Wolves are allowing Moor to have a major voice in basketball decisions. That will start with the draft, where the Timberwolves have the No. 6 pick.

Moor wants to have a big influence on the direction of the team, so Harris (who ran Milwaukee), Bickerstaff (Charlotte) and King (Philadelphia) really didn't have a chance to get a call back. Ex-Miami GM Randy Pfund interviewed for the post, but later took his name out of consideration.

Kahn was involved in the business side of team operations and the building of the Pacers' Conseco Fieldhouse when he worked under Donnie Walsh in Indiana. So he's exactly the kind of GM that Moor wants in place.
