Jonah Ballow: Let's turn to the Lottery, which is going to take place on Tuesday night and I had a chance to catch up with PA. He is extremely excited to join you for this lottery experience and picking Super Saver actually led to him joining you at the Draft Lottery. What do you think about this experience? It will be your first time at the podium representing the team. I know that it's the luck of the draw and right now the Timberwolves have a 19.9 percent chance at snagging that No. 1 pick.

David Kahn: Well, I can honestly say that I hate the opportunity. What it represents is you didn't have a very good season and the other people there also didn't play as well in some cases as they hoped and I hate it. Obviously, its something we may have to endure next season as well. You would be hard pressed I think to climb all the way to the playoffs in a year, so I know that there a lot of people Minnesota who also in their own way hate it because you just cant keep going there year after year and I understand that and recognize that. While I know that it's something that we have to do, we'll be there, we'll do it and I'm hopeful there will come a time in the not so distant future, we're frankly not among one of the teams there but we have a lot of work to do before we get to that point.

I was hoping it would be Crunch.

Good interview. Kahn always speaks his mind, and doesn't dodge any questions. It's refreshing to hear comments like that from a GM.

Sorta interesting. Kahn has been consistent with his message at least.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.
