* Former Sacramento coach Mike Malone was at practice today and will travel with the team on the rest of this trip.
He coached Williams at Cleveland, knows Martin and he walked out of practice today chatting with Thaddeus Young.
Saunders said he's done that before with other coaches who have been fired because "the first three days you get 120 calls. Everyone tells you how great you are and two weeks later, no one talks to you."
Saunders said he invited Malone to come down and travel with the team and he accepted.
"It's good to have him and it's something hopefully that will help him, too," Saunders said.

Nice of Flip. Wouldn't be a half bad idea for him to give Malone the coaching job and move back to management.

This. Flip the GM has been great. Flip the coach.... is outdated. The game isn't about long twos anymore.

yeah, Flip the GM has been as good as Flip the coach used to be. The Wolves offense has really regressed from the Adelman's years although to be fair rampant injuries are part of the blame.
