    Kahn is an idiot but these "leaders" are truly grasping at straws.

    Yet, ESPN picked them to finish 3rd in the West. Could it be that some of those crackers can actually ball? With 78% of the players being African-American, I wasn't aware that the NBA needed affirmative action. Everyone scratched their heads when Kahn selected point guards back-to-back with the 5th and 6th picks back in 2009. Turns out the white guy was better, WAY better. Kahn kept Rubio (who happens to be white) and traded Flynn (who happens to be black). It was exactly the correct choice - based on talent, not skin color. And this makes him a racist? I can't believe Kahn is getting shit over the racial make-up of his roster - of all things. He is trying to make a perennial doormat relevant and this is the thanks he gets from some members of the local community. In spite of all his many failures, Kahn has managed to assemble the best roster Minnesota has had in nine years, and this is the thanks he gets. How about these so-called civic leaders evaluate the performance of the players based on the results, not the color of their skin. Isn't that what racial equality is supposed to be all about?

    wait, 3rd best in the WHOLE west or 3rd in their division?

    If they're 3rd best in the conference, they're on crack, smack and heroin.

    They WILL not finish better than the Lakers, Spurs and OKC. And it's not likely they'll finish better than the Clippers either. Hell, they might not finish better than Denver.

    They're without Love for a while, and Rubio. I think ESPN must've meant division.

    I don't think, based on Love and Rubio being out, that they're better than us.

    This is so stupid. Racism only applies to black people I suppose.

    As the article says, they targeted Hill and Batum. Minnesota is not a free agent hot spot. To get talent, they have targeted international players.

    Pursuing Batum was clearly a smokescreen to throw the scent off of the racism.


    What the hell is this article? LOL

    Portland was "too white" for Oden.

    The Wolves are "too white" to this attention whore.

    I hate this double standard.

    How is this any different than, say, Steve Nash unwilling to play in Atlanta because it's "too black"?

    There would be an uproar if he even hinted at that.

    What a heart warming story. I applaud the Timberwolves for their commitment to diversity, and in challenging the racial stereotypes in the black dominated NBA.
