Looks like it was Arod and Lore’s call.

Elton Brand to step out of the shadow of Darryl Morey

Really hope this is not the case.

maybe the plan is to sign elton brand so he can use his relations to land us simmons..this Rosas firing has me worried about dlo..Rosas was the biggest Dlo believer. If Timberwolves trade dlo and beasley for Simmons, it'll be back to ground zero. Now they don't have any shooting.

Has to be sexual harassment or worse... right?

The fans filling T-Mobile Arena will never have heard of Rosas or Taylor.

No it doesnt. It could easily be a big disagreement over simmons.

I don't buy that. I don't see this as about Simmons.

Can’t make this up. Seriously a season most of us were looking forward to.

Wonder what the backstory is here

Jeez, I mean he definitely wasn't my favorite but, the timing of this was ****.

Anyone suspect conflict of interest over Morey and Rosas?

Simmons will be a Wolf within the weekend.

Hope we can say the same for Edwards.

Maybe I'm overreacting but I can't shake the feeling that this is a really really costly move and things will be very different going forward. This feels like the beginning of the end and that sucks. I just don't think winning organizations do stuff like this. My optimism for this team in the short term has just taken a massive hit. :nonono:

I generally stay fairly quite on these boards, and I'm fine doing so in general unless I can add some perspective (Beasley/law stuff). But this is shocking to say the least. I'm pissed off.

The change suggests to me one of 3 things:
FIRST possibility - Rosas was going to make a trade that the ownership refused to sanction
SECOND possibility - Ownership wanted to make a trade that Rosas rejected
THIRD possibility - Lore/A-Rod are cleaning house much earlier than I expected.

I came to MN from East Coast in 1990. On my recruiting visit here, I watched the Wolves in the Dome, and adopted the team as my own, and moved here. I've been here 31 years. I've suffered with this franchise as you each have done. This decision feels unnecessary at this point, but I don't know enough yet to judge. I'm still angry.

I'm a firm believer in hiring someone, letting them do their job with support and evaluating the results once it's done. That doesn't mean un-supervised unlimited discretion, but it means I want to get out of the way and let that person do their job. While the record is 42-94 since he was hired, I have a hard time dismissing him until this coming season is over. Evaluating someone after their first season - where they are developing an understanding of the team; a second Covid-interrupted season, where your best player gets ill, and has a parent die from a pandemic-based event before the third season and then a third season where your main players were barely on the court together, feels rash. And this is exacerbated by the apparent fact (I've not seen confirmation that it was required that he hold on to Saunders) that he didn't get to pick his own coach when he first came on the job.

I agree that ownership is ownership. It's their toy. And if they felt that a trade GR proposed was harmful to the franchise, it's within their authority to decline it - and fire GR. But ownership better do a damm good job of controlling subsequent narrative if they did that. Because otherwise, it's going to get really hostile to the team, And if GR refused to do a deal that ownership wanted, I'll side with GR given the past decisons by ownership on players ....

If the new guys think Brand is a better choice, than it'll probably be worse...

There's going to be a ton of information coming about this over the next few days I bet. Everyone's guesses are pretty good, whether this is Simmons related, scandal related, new ownership etc. etc.

I'm as shocked as anyone and having the same reactions, but I bet this won't stay mysterious for very long.

Is it Rosas's choice or the Wolves. Why would we do this now. I was just starting to like Rosas. :noway:
