Maybe he should be more concerned with why his team has finished with the worst record 14 times since 1986 than whether or not the lottery is rigged.

it’s not a big deal. It’s all the reporters such as everyone who writes for this site and others are all jealous that Stern recommended Kahn to the Timberwolves after Kahn was a reporter. Jealous, is all.

Rubio is the only part of that trade left with his original team of that trade. Rubio has NEVER once said he doesn’t want to come to Minnesota. Even if Rubio is a bust, Foye is now a Clipper and Miller is with the Heat. They BOTH went to Washington in that trade. Screw you all you haters thinking Rubio won’t come here. Even if he does wait a year, which would be smart on Rubio’s part because the lockout will be worse than the current NFL one and secondly, Rubio would then be able to negotiate a contract with the Wolves as opposed to be getting his slotted salary.

Why?? I get the ridicule over the Flynn pick, it’s well deserved.. But why all the negativity over Rubio?? He essentially traded Foye and Miller for the Rubio pick.. Heck if Rubio never ends up in the US, the trade was still decent, he shed two lousy contracts of two mediocre players at best.. Wouldn’t it make more sense to judge the Rubio pick once he actually plays in the NBA?? Or is that not what the media is telling you to think??

How is he back tracking? The clip is the original comment that got him in trouble in the first place. The announcers laughing and him smiling proves it is a joke. He is just confirming it.

I honestly don’t see what the big deal is.. After seeing the video above, and every other video posted out there regarding this so called gaffe, I just don’t see the issue..

Kinda funny how everyone blows this out of proportion even though what he said was dead on.. Nowhere does he say anything that would result in a fine by the league.. In his usually lawyer talk, he got his point across without saying anything to damaging.. Should he just keep his mouth shut in the future? absolutely..

He’s backtracking. Surprise surprise.

You were right the first time Mr. Kahn.

Backtracking now won’t save that money in your pocket, fwiw.
