    Kahn should have been fired. Still that organization is a joke. You don't hire Saunders to replace the guy. It is going to be a wash.

    Interesting--for some reason, I always only associated Kevin McHale with the Joe Smith scandal, and didn't realize/recall that Saunders was both GM and head coach until 2000. Seems to me that they would want to go a different direction...

    Let's face it, the ownership up there isn't exactly stellar.

    Kahn Kahned?

    Kahn Kanned?

    Kahn sucked.

    I truly believe he was intentionally making that franchise worse off than it was when it hired him.

    That's an interesting Kahnspiracy theory. It seems more plausible than an NBA GM Kahnstantly fucking up the way he did out of shear ineptitude.

    RIP Kahn. You will be missed.

    It was the owner who personally made the illegal verbal contract with Joe Smith, not the GM.

    I mean, he couldn't have been THAT bad without intending to be, right? Right?

    I wonder how the Rubes are taking this? Has anyone checked?

    Kahn's Kahnning is going to take a lot of fun out of the off season, and could very likely strengthen a "rival". Bummer.
