From Howard Beck/New York Times: President of Timberwolves Is Wishing Upon a Star
Kahn’s roster of mentor figures also includes Commissioner David Stern, who wrote him a recommendation letter for New York University law school nearly 20 years ago. The two also worked closely in recent years, when Kahn owned and operated a group of five Development League teams.

In the D-League, Kahn hired nine coaches in four years, preparing him for the process he has now undertaken in Minneapolis. But it is the Rubio situation that may ultimately define his career. For that, Kahn fell back on his sportswriting roots.

“I do not want to be the person — and maybe this is your headline — I do not want to be the person who trades Ricky Rubio without knowing what we’re trading,” he said. “I think we know already who he is, and I’m very, very excited about it.”



Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor and president of basketball operations David Kahn met with the agent for first-round pick Ricky Rubio in Las Vegas, where Kahn also is scheduled today to complete his extensive first round of job interviews to fill the team's open coaching vacancy.

Kahn met twice with agent Dan Fegan on Monday as the two men work to solve an expensive buyout with Rubio's Spanish team that could prevent him from playing in the NBA this season and possibly next.

Taylor, in Las Vegas to watch the Wolves summer-league team and for other matters, was present for one of those two.

Kahn called the meeting between owner and agent "merely an opportunity for me to introduce the two of them to each other, nothing more."

From KXMB.com: Woodside Plays Summer League
Woodside played 8-and-a-half minutes and tried to do the things we're used to seeing - distributing to teammates. He had one assist, no turnovers and one steal.

Woodside also got into the scorebook...a free throw was his only point.
