Plans are for Kevin McHale to return to manage the basketball department with his staff intact.
 
"One of the things that I feel good about is that we have met as a group many, many times this year, and everybody has been working together and more productively to get us ready for the future," Taylor said. "Everybody in the office is energized. That's good for me, and that's good for Kevin. He's very excited."
 
Also from Walters:
The Wolves budgeted to lose about $20 million this season. But, Taylor said Wednesday, that has been reduced to about $10 million through some dealings.
 
 
 
According to Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, it is unlikely the club will add any high-priced free agents for the 2008-09 season.
 
"Probably not next year because next year I'm still paying [Troy] Hudson and I'm paying [Juwan] Howard. I still have to pay those salaries somewhat, so I think next year our biggest goal will be probably the draft choices. We should get our own high one and then depending on what Miami does, maybe theirs. So I think that will be our best chance to improve next year. It's a couple years out that we have our contracts coming, they end, that we have the money for the free agents." 
 
 
 
Judd Zulgad/Star Tribune on the Wolves tv ratings:  
According to preliminary numbers from Nielsen Media, KSTC finished with a 0.9 rating and 1.7 share for 34 telecasts -- down 61 percent from last season (2.3 and 4) -- and FSN North had a 0.9 rating and 1.5 share for 35 games -- down 36 percent (1.4 and 3) from 2006-07.
  
 
Also from Zulgad:
It will be interesting to see if the Wolves remain with radio partner BOB 106 FM in 2008-09...
 
 
 
Gary Washburn/Seattle PI lists Al Jefferson as a "close second" behind Hedo Turkoglu for the Most Improved Player award.  For the Sixth Man award, Washburn names Rashad McCants runner-up to Manu Ginobili.
