If you're not just trolling, I'd say your definition of a plan is too precise. Why is "key position" necessary for your definition? Would you require that Kahn tell you the exact height of the 2011 SG, or else he doesn't have a plan?

As others have said, I believe Kahn's plan was to:

1. Remove the deadwood from last year's squad -- and I think he's done that.

2. Bring a new attitude -- Rambis, and new coaches, remove McHale

3. Maximize 2010 cap space, for FA use or trade value -- Songalia and the cap holds on Foye/Miller

4. Acquire future assets, for use or trade value -- Rubio and the CHA pick

5. Grab value plays, for use or trade value -- Sessions and Hollins

6. Make MIN look more desirable to free agents -- Q-Rich and Daniels


In short, the plan this season is about change, development, and opening doors for 2010 that weren't open before.

Shrink ...

Dude, I can't defend something and the opposed. If you take a look to the first post of this page (Wolves2011), you can see that you and me are saying the same.

BTW, then you agree me that when Kahn told Rubio will be a key of the minnie's rebuild project, Kahn looks like a ...

Well, now I go watch the Barça-Caja Laboral (just now on NBA TV).

PD. Ah, your points 4 and 5 are the same thing.

But I'm not doubting the triangle either. System is not why these guys aren't succeeding. They just... suck, other than Jonny. Some of the other guys have shown flashes, but flashes don't win games.


This is exactly how I feel. We are simply a team devoid of talent. You can see that in the starting five. You see that in the bench.

Kahn was absolutely right when he said that on a championship team, Al would be the second-best player and Kevin the 4th-best. Now, we just need to keep plugging in the holes we have.

Until we have accumulated more talent, we are not going to necessarily see the improvements of the team in the wins column. That will come with time.

For those thinking Kahn and Rambis may not be on the same page, they are. There are two things they are both stressing: Player development and patience. With the experience of the coaches on our bench, I think we will continue to see improvements as the season goes along. It just takes time and patience.

And how much of that will having Love and Jefferson healthy cure?
Or should we just pretend like our 2 best players aren't injured/recovering from injury?

Al has never been able to get to the line. I think rebounding will certainly improve when Al and Kevin are healthy. I don't expect much improvement in guards getting to the rim and finishing when Al come back to form though.
