re: Kahn is out in Minnesota

I never could really sort out of Kahn had a master plan, but he was patient, collected assets, and had a clear vision of what he wanted his team to be: skilled point guards feeding dynamic, floor-stretching big men. Plus, he sold ownership on patience. It's sad but true that it's not always possible to put yourself on a 2-year plan to title contention. Not continually deforming your salary in order to preserve flexibility to make moves that will make a difference is important.
