asked by Kenny who the best player on team is and Kahn says there is none...looked at getting older players...it's important to get great players and not sure who on the team can be that...says they're going to be active in FA...lots of frustration and wants to turn it around but doesn't want to rush it, wants to do it the right way...talks about an uptempo full-court team being a possible FA attraction...

Missed the first part, here's from when I tuned in.
Kenny asking him who the best player on the team is.
Kahn said there isn't one.
Wants to become an up-tempo team, and tonight speaks to that. Very young team, got younger tonight, even though they took older young players tonight. Says there's still a loooooong way to go and the coming weeks will be about finding a great player.
Kenny asks about whether or not we'll be a player this summer.
Likes the young guys, expect them to be part of the core. Will be very active this summer, may surprise people. This is not a time to lay back. Franchise has struggled, feels sorry for those that have been with the team longer than him and Rambis. Looking to build piece by piece while keeping up tempo in mind.
Steve Smith asks why they'd want to trade Al, given he's an automatic double team.
Kahn says he's not looking to give Al away, with the way Al has improved this summer, may be here the next three years, but it's tough given all the bodies and logjam with bigs and the timeframe for decision making.
Steve asks about when Rubio will come.
Kahn reiterates he expects him here year after this one. Goes on to compliment Rubio every way imaginable. Says secretly glad over Rubio staying in Spain (doesn't know what a secret is I guess).
They ask him to come back at 12:01 when FA starts, if he's not busy.
Says he will be busy, and that this summer in the NBA will be crazy and that FA special will be like the ridiculous tennis match.
Kenny and him start joking around, Kahn says he doesn't care how Kenny is feeling, Kenny puts a curse on the Timberwolves until the day Kahn does care.
Kahn tells Aldridge to give Kenny Kahn's number so they can start texting each other every morning.
Kahn/Kenny.
