Outside looking In, Kahn is an idiot, Milic=Divac?

Anyone the least bit shocked that Jefferson prefers McHale over Rambis? Kinda obvious why, right? One guy tells him to be selfish and shoot through triple teams, focuses the offense on him. The other guy forces him to pass.

When the Wolves have a 10-4 with everyone healthy under McHale with Jefferson and a 15-67 season with Rambis and Jefferson, its really not that hard to see why Jefferson was happy under McHale last year during that limited stretch.

You have to understand Al Jefferson is a quality player, person and a legitimate professional who ha been stuck on teams in rebuilding/tank mode for the past four years now. From his point of view they could have simply drafted Stephen Curry and kept Miller and Foye to have been on the right track a year ago.

It wasn't the awful wing rotation or frontline that was keeping this team from competing the year before Kahn, it was quite obvious that Sebastion Telfair was the main thing holding them back. I'm as happy as anyone that Kahn went out and addressed the PG problem first but there is no doubt that had he simply drafted Stephen Curry and kept Miller and Foye while signing Sessions that the Wolves could've won at least 30-35 games.

Why should anyone take issue with Jefferson for being ready to try and compete ASAP when he is 25 years old? He didn't freak out and demand a trade or throw Kahn and Rambis under the bus despite there being no lack of media around already to print anything that paints Kahn in a bad light.

Despite the team having obviously decided to take two steps back before trying to move forward he still worked his ass off and returned early from his ACL injury knowing full well that he'd be doing it to play for a 20 win team or so.
