David Khan to chat with fans via web

[Devilzsidewalk]

okay somebody kinda asked what I wanted to know, shooting and scoring from the SG/SF positions he said is the biggest need

[Devilzsidewalk]

he's kind of mailing it in now

[SO_MONEY]

hey Dan, ask mines for me:

"I'd like to know what he thinks the strengths and weaknesses are on the team skill-wise and position wise"

they'll never answer a question if I ask it because my first name is Devilz and they'll think I'm some sort of satanic type person

Some one asked one similar.

[SO_MONEY]

I know many of us may want to pontificate on acquisition of specific players, but I respectfully understand that you are unable to comment on names; would you would be as gracious to give an overview of the top 5-10 players on your big board by position only as things stand?

With the projected cap-space as fans and you professionally are undoubtedly looking forward to, is the plan to fill a position of need via a major acquisition i.e... a player making in the neighborhood of 12 million per year or to find multiple players at somewhat lower per year numbers?

What changes in the upcoming CBA (could) we be expecting?

I think the ACB has a site stream games legally? What about Panathinaikos?

Jeff Schwartz was in town the other day what are the implications on the three players represented by him and how does he feel about the future of his clients playing together?


Here are some of my questions!

[GopherIt!]

Mr. Kahn, what does your wrath look like?

[cpfsf]

I asked quite a few questions, none were answered

What position is the best fit for Pekovic
Has travel between the teams has been an issue considering we have closer teams
Is there a salary cap estimate the wolves use when considering fa's
Does the clippers rights over our pick have any influence over decisions made

I thought those were good questions. I even made an acct for this.

[allweneedisLOVE]

I completely disagree with the people in this thread that think Kahn avoids questions. Kahn's a straight shooter, he's not lying or hiding his opinion from what I can tell. His answer to why they signed Sessions was the best question/answer in there I thought:


[Comment From FelixFelix: ]
I was really wondering about Ramon Sessions role lately... Why did we sign him when he receives so little playing time?

David says: With a young, rookie point guard in Jonny, I felt it was necessary to have a quality player capable of starting if Jonny needed more time to grow into the position.



[Comment From PatrickPatrick: ]
David- Very glad to see our GM active and chatting with fans. The communication definitely helps being a fan of a 9-33 team. I think the improvement that Corey Brewer has shown over the last few weeks, especially his mid-range shooting, is a testament to your and Coach Rambis' commitment to player development. Big Al's improvement on defense also comes to mind. Any other things that you would like to see from any of the players in terms of specific skills improvement?

David says: I would like to see Kevin Love continue to expand his all-around game, especially in the low post, and Jonny Flynn continue his improvement defensively.

David says: And as I said earlier, Ryan Hollins has the capability to be a very good player in this league, and I think he's improved this season. But he needs to improve in every facet of the game. Plus we are working diligently with him to add muscle and weight to his frame.

[Comment From SamSam: ]
Will a player's fit in the triangle offense factor heavily into your personnel decisions in the future, or do you plan on fitting the system to the talent available?

David says: I am much more concerned with whether the player can play in the full-court running style of play that flows into an offense where you have to use every basketball skill -- shooting, passing, driving, the whole nine yards.

[Comment From BradBrad: ]
Have you been impressed with Corey Brewer's improvement?

David says: I think Corey's shooting is becoming slightly more dependable, but it needs to continue to improve.

[Comment From RickRick: ]
Getting longer and more athletic is certainly a goal, but how much weight do you place on Basketballl IQ? Is it inherent, or can it be taught?

David says: I think it's mostly inherent.

[skorff26]

Ask him what he expects the salary cap to be at next year

Later ask him how much cap space he expects us to have...

From those 2, we can kind of gauge who'd be on the team.

Sure, let me hop in my time machine.

I caught a bit on one of his chalk talks on the post game show and an interesting snippet was he asked the crowd to raise their hand if they thought using all of their cap space on Kevin Martin would put the team where it needed to be. I thought it was very telling. I think we'll use the cap space but for significant contracts it's going to be for someone who makes us significantly better. Seems common sense, but after some of the contracts of the previous regime, still good to hear.

Did anybody else catch the broadcast reveal Kahn as a booger-eater? He's lucky that Taylor was at the game instead of watching on TV, or else he might be out of a job.

WTF, boogers don't go in your mouth, they go on the wall when nobody's looking

[horaceworthy]

The funny part was he gave it one swipe past his mouth, must have felt he missed something, and went back to make damn sure he got it the second time.
