This is absolutely ludicrous. How can you criticise David Kahn for inexperience. First of all, experience can also be a burden. How? Well there was a GM by the name of Kevin McHale with a world of experience, that started messing up everything. (Despite being a bad GM, he was a great coach and was great at developing big men).
Therefore one could conclude that being a GM does not mean you have to have experience. Therefore, that criticism is incorrect, incoherent and irrelevant.
The Single Thing That Impresses Me The Most
David Kahn has recognized that, his job as a GM is to bring the Timberwolves a championship. He's also recognized that we are not going to win one anytime soon. Therefore we are in the rebuilding stage once again, and David Kahn is investing in the future.
How can we think about present, if our future isn't taken care of. After all, our present determines what our future will be. Let's use an example in the Celtics. Yes they won a championship recently, but when Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce retire, who are your rebuilding pieces?
They got rid of their draft picks, and they don't have much to work with other than Rondo at this point. While I see the Timberwolves have Love, Jefferson, Rubio, Flynn, Ellington, Carney, and more that are all young, and we're only getting better at this point.
David Kahn's work advises you to look at the bigger picture. Do not look at the 25 games we might win next season, but look at the 35 games the season after, and 50 after that, and then look at the championship.
In order to enjoy the success of winning, you must experience the tragic of losing, which will make the Timberwolves success all the sweeter.
David Kahn is putting pieces together, he drafted guards this year, and next year he will go after centers and possibly shooting guards and small forwards.
I advise us to not look at the catastrophe of the modern day artist painting that is the metaphor of the possible horrible next season, and look at the Picasso painting that is the metaphor of the outcome of that horrible season...three years later.
David Kahn is just handling all the brushes at this point, so I'm busting open the can of paint to see what colors he's going to use, and I'm really excited.
