Charley Walters/Pioneer Press on Wolves owner Glen Taylor: 
Taylor remains patient in rebuilding the Wolves.
 
"I have to be; I just think that last year
everything was sort of new," he said. "We asked (coach) Randy (Wittman)
to play the young kids and stuff like that. That isn’t an ideal
situation when you have just all young guys out there. I don’t think
you’ve ever seen a team with all young guys go as far as you want. You
need a healthy mix.
 
"There’s still some experience that we’ve got to
figure out, and maybe this next year … part of it is to look around
and see if there is a veteran that’s a free agent who would be
interested in coming in here."
