Seems like Jonny K refutes that but..
Curious why we haven't heard anything about a coaching search yet
I'd be shocked if there is a search. I think Saunders remains in the position and Layden is reassigned to a scout.
But this supports my previous point that Rosas was hired with the thought that Saunders would be the coach. Pure speculation, but doubt Rosas gets job if he said he wanted his own guy in

So he has 2 years to win it all or Taylor to die. Which one you think hes betting on?

Why would Layden get reassigned? Rosas is not taking the GM title too.

Rosas would bring in his own guy to be #2. Wouldn't most do that?

Rosas 4 years 12 million deal.

Surprised he’s getting paid so little. Thibs got 8 million per year to be coach and president

I would assume he'd be fine with any vet guy doing his legwork since he's the final say. I would think short term he keeps Layden just from the fact he knows every detail of all trade talks in the last year. Lot of times those get refreshed or at least you have an idea of how teams value your guys and theirs. Seems a big leg up not having to start from square 1 feel out on every deal. Could see a change maybe after initial FA. But have to say if I was him I'd keep things intact until at least next year. Leg up helps him as well as the team.

i'm not sure if death is in glen's future. he has sort of a "re-animated" look to him.

I have always contended they carved a head for him out of wood and have been weekend at Bernieing him for years. So I guess I don't actually blame the marionette. Who's puling the strings?

His name, along with Finch's, have come up for recent openings.

IMO, the organization missed badly if they end up going elsewhere and didn't get to talk to Monty Williams. Huge mistake.

I'm just glad we have a guy that has no horse in this race and will look at each player and make a logical decision on who to keep and who to move. He'll evaluate Saric, see if he's a worthy guy to resign on a team friendly deal. Wiggins long term future. Etc.

I'd say he see Towns, Covington (cheap contract), Okogie and Diop (rookie deals) as the only keepers. Everything else is up fro grabs.

Maybe if we got to him first but I don't think he's choosing MN over the other options he had.

Minnesota is a better job than the Lakers and Suns but he wanted clarity and a quick process. Lakers were dragging their feet. One suns gave him a 5 year deal, he took it.

How can you say the Wolves are a better job than anyone?

They have had one successful tenure at HC in the history of the team. It's one of the worst run pro sports organizations there is. Complete frozen tundra during the basketball season.

He's goes to a place where many Minnesotans leave to get away from that time of year.

Suns have had success before. Have lots of young assets, a top pick coming up and no one under a horrible contract.

Lulz.

Nobody is passing up coaching the Lakers to choose the Wolves. I'm not even going to go into that.

I don't think the Suns job is any better than Minnesota. If anything, the Suns, Lakers and Wolves are all stuck right now because of shitty ownership.

They probably do all suck but the Wolves literally have no assets, one of the worst organizations, etc..

Believe me i want this team to be good but Minnesota is basketball purgatory. There hasn't been a worse run organization in maybe all of sports since the inception.

You know the Lakers? Ya they have won multiple championships and pushed out multiple Hofers in that time.

They have Lebron and will land another star this offseason.

This was for once, a very attractive job when we had all the young bucks. It's back to square one now. I wouldn't want to coach here at all. We have no money, no assets and have a non playoff roster. There isn't really any moves to be made to fix this anytime soon either unless they hit big tonight.

Fingers crossed.

He's on the Portland bench. He's got a solid assistant resume that also includes playing with AND coaching Shved in Moscow.
