Former Miami GM Randy Pfund this morning said he has told Wolves CEO Rob Moor to take his name out of the running for the vacant VP/GM position because he is moving on to pursue other NBA opportunities.
“I don’t think it’s the right situation for me right now in Minnesota,” he said. “I obviously had a couple conversations and an interview there and at this point I think I’m moving on from that situation. There are some other things out there that intrigue me and some things out there that may intrigue me and I’m going to turn my efforts into exploring those things.”
Pfund’s withdrawal leaves Portland Trail Blazers assistant general manager Tom Penn and former Indiana Pacers general manager David Kahn as the remaining outside candidates.
The Wolves also have two internal candidates in assistant general manager Fred Hoiberg and GM Jim Stack.
