The Wolves late-season winning ways (Wednesday’s comeback over Memphis
was their fifth win in seven games) might again lead to no lottery luck
and it wouldn’t surprise me if they have to make a tough call on a guy
like Mayo when it comes to their pick this June. They need talent — at
least two more supremely talented players they can put next to Al
Jefferson — at any position they can find it.

Jerry Zgoda/Star Tribune on Al Jefferson: 
His six offensive rebounds in a comeback victory over Memphis at Target Center gives him 273 this season. That’s one more than … not Kevin Garnett, but Felton Spencer, whose 272 rebounds in his rookie season of 1990-91 stood as the franchise’s best for 17 seasons.
 
 
 
Taylor’s harpoon was brilliant and came at just the
right time. I don’t know if Kevin tanked or not. Who cares? The point
is that the owner has thrust his team back onto the front pages and to the top of the sportscasts.
 

A series of follow-up stories has Taylor declaring
that Wittman has to do better next season and that the team needs to
win as many games as possible down the stretch. Glen Taylor has become
our very own version of George Steinbrenner: instant headlines.

 
 
 
Former Villanova star Randy Foye has been inserted as the Minnesota Timberwolves point guard, and says, "I’m used to directing people out there." 
 
 
 
So Taylor should keep his irrational musings to himself. Like his team, they’re embarrassing.
The classy way in which KG responded to Taylor’s nonsense only makes the Wolves’ boss look even more foolish and childish.
