David Kahn Continues the Pillaging of the Minnesota Timberwolves
Al Jefferson swapped for draft picks and a trade exception? Really? (I should note that the working title of this post was a directive aimed at David Kahn to not so gently make love to himself) Since the day David Kahn was hired as the President of the Minnesota Timberwolves I stated plainly and loudly that he was the wrong man for the job.
