A classy gentleman during his time with the Wizards. RIP Flip.

A grieving Timberwolves team reconvened at practice, the loss of the organizational architect still weighing heavy on their hearts. Quite simply, Saunders was everything to these Timberwolves -- the president of basketball operations, a minority owner and head coach, another son to owner Glen Taylor and another father to many of the players.
"His imprint is on this building," interim coach Sam Mitchell said, looking at the state-of-the-art practice facility that opened this summer. "It's on the Target Center. Every one of us, from players to coaches to a lot of guys in basketball ops, they were hand-picked by Flip. He wanted us here. He wanted what he called his Timberwolves family around him, people that he had confidence in, that he trusted. So that's tough because we all came back because of him."
