Minnesota GM David Kahn has been reported to be interested in Memphis free agent Rudy Gay. After selecting Wesley Johnson, the best small forward in the 2010 Draft, and then acquiring/drafting Martell Webster, Lazar Hayward, and Nemanja Bejelica (all small forwards), it only makes sense for the NBA's worst GM to target yet another small forward. Kahn has been without a doubt the worst general manager in the NBA since New York Knicks GM Isiah Thomas and this only further shows how obvious it has become. How has Minnesota not fired him already?
With most teams dumping talent and salary in preperation of the biggest free agent class in NBA history, Kahn has aggressively drafted/signed/acquired eight point guards and small forwards over the past two seasons. Never before has there been a GM to waste so much roster space because he apparently lacks the abilty to scout players. With teams having intelligent management and better situations holding more cap space (New Jersey, Chicago, Miami, LA (Clippers), New York), it's highly unlikely the Timberwolves will land any free agents of major importance. Why would any player wanting to win go to a team, one openly planning to miss the playoffs yet again this season, for any reason other than the paycheck?
