Give us your top three Wolves Front Office Blunders of the last ten years. Maybe it will shed some light on Kahn's performance so far, put it in a little more context. Mine would be:
3) Marco Jaric trade (2005). Cassell and a future #1 (still not paid) for Jaric and Jaric's hot girlfriend. She's the only reason this trade isn't ranked higher.
2) The Smith deal (2001). The loss of draft picks is well documented, but also lost was a year of KG's prime while the Wolves marked time as a good-but-not-great team in the West.
1) Foye for Roy (2006). Sigh.
To watch in the future - Johnson over Cousins MIGHT be a colossal mistake. The Wolves had the 4th pick in what was considered a 4 player draft (at least in the top two tiers - Wall, then Favors, Cousins and Turner.) Only time will tell.
