Timberwolves president Glen Taylor is saying that Kevin McHale got canned because he wouldn't have been happy with the fact that team president David Kahn would be getting rid of plenty of the guys he brought in and believed in this summer: Mike Miller(notes), Randy Foye(notes), Mark Madsen(notes), Craig Smith(notes) and Sebastian Telfair(notes)
Taylor seems to think that McHale would have been too upset with the changes on the team to be an effective coach, which is funny because plenty would argue that he wasn't very effective last year when the 'Wolves ended up with a 24-58 record. Surprisingly, there were three teams worse than that in the Western Conference: the Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Meanwhile, the rumor is that Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis is likely to be named coach of the Timberwolves this week or next.
