I'm truly excited to be in charge of the process of developing the Minnesota Timberwolves into a championship-caliber team. I've seen the passion that Upper Midwest basketball fans have for the Timberwolves. You deserve a winner - and I will do everything in my power to deliver one for you.
There are several significant pieces in place on our team already for achieving this success. And with multiple picks in this year's draft and salary cap flexibility, it's time to accumulate even more talent and accelerate our climb to the top. I will work tirelessly, and expect my staff to do the same. We will be relentless in pursuit of an NBA championship.
I have spent 24 years working around the game of basketball in several capacities. While I am a lawyer, journalist and entrepreneur, above all I am a basketball person. As General Manager with the Indiana Pacers, I worked side-by-side in the day-to-day operations of the basketball department with Donnie Walsh, one of the finest basketball minds in the game. I'm especially proud of the Pacers making eight playoff appearances in the nine years I was affiliated with them, topped off by an NBA Finals appearance in 2000.
I also had the privilege of leading the charge in the design, development and marketing of Conseco Fieldhouse, the Pacers' arena - an arena that is considered one of the finest venues ever built.
I have maintained my ties to the NBA by owning four NBA Development League (NBDL) teams over the past four years. This experience allowed me to hire nine coaches, including Sam Vincent, Michael Cooper, Jay Humphries and the late Dennis Johnson. My NBDL experience allowed me to constantly work on coach and player matters ever since I left the Pacers. And more recently, to further prepare myself for this opportunity, I went to Europe in March and scouted six professional games in eight days.
Throughout my time in professional basketball I have managed the salary cap, worked on trades, hired coaches, and managed large projects. So I am ready for this outstanding opportunity. I am ready to bring my energy, passion and experience to making the Timberwolves one of the top teams in the NBA.
As President of Basketball Operations, the proverbial buck stops with me - and I embrace this responsibility. Once again, I pledge to you that no other team will outwork or outthink the Timberwolves basketball staff during our quest to win a championship for our loyal fans.
Sincerely,
David Kahn

Ähm. Das war alles andere als dumm. Der Junge hat noch ein Vertrag unso. Das kann ganz schnell in die Hose gehen.
