Nelson campaigning for T-Wolves job

Might as well give it a try.

Kahn you dig it....I can

A job is a terrible thing to lose, Bro.

oh snap, go nelly go nelly go!

KAHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNN!!!!!

Was not Nellie pay like $5m a year with Golden State .... would think Nellie a little out of Kahn pay range of $2m or less ...

Unless Glen Taylor the Owner is going for a Home Run .... Nellie / Love / Rubio / Darko?

because the center is gonna be 6-2?

If Taylor signs Nelson, it shows the circus in Minnesota will be in town for years to come.

Too bad, Wolves fans. Whatever young stars-in-the-making you may have who need guidance to take the next step, or established stars ready to take it to the next level, Nellie will drive them all crazy and eventually out of town. See Chris Webber (driven out of town), Baron Davis (refused to re-sign after shabby treatment), Monte Ellis (transformed into a malcontent under Nellie). Nellie undermined Chris Mullin (who had finally learned how to put a strong team together), and is basically a twist.

And for all the reasons that you just put down. Nelson should never coach again. Plus Nelson loved to fight and undermind his players. If you a big man that likes to rebound and can score points in the low post. You better learn how to shoot a 3 pointer. Because under Nelson that's all your going to get. The only use Nelson has for anyplayer that's 6"9 and above, is seating at the end of the bench.

He did have dirk scoring 25 points a game for him for yearsNot to defend him, but it just so happens that the players he had weren't tall

At GS he mis-handled every big man he ever had on the roster. He lucked out in that Dirk can actually shoot the 3 and is incredibly mobile. He also had Manute Bol, at 7'7", out shooting threes, wasting his talents.

Like the TWolves have a choice of coaches left. I guess Phil Jackson is ready to take the job or Doc Rivers is willing to move to Minnesota. Pops is also in line to be the assistant. Nellie does have the best chance of turning this team around w/ the style he coaches. Love is already a 3 point shooting 4. Milwaukee, Golden State, Dallas, and GS were turned around by Nellie. He didn't produce a championship but yet he made due w/ whatever roster he had. He made the players overachieved.

Guam, what you may not realize is that Nellie is a manipulator. He will slowly but surely undermine the GM. When he does, he will then push for crazy trades. In seeking the crazy mismatch he will play crazy rosters, leaving young players with no idea of what their role is. Thus, he will alienate the young players that could be the core of something special. If the center wants to play down low, he will push him to shoot 3s. If the center wants to shoot 3s, he will push him to bang down low.

The whole point of trading for draft choices is to build a young, cheap team. What good is that to the then hire a coach who will alienate those young players and have them rushing for the door at the first opportunity.

Nelson has the occasional good idea. But, successful teams aren't successful because of an occasionally good idea. They are successful because a coach builds rapport with the players and they march, together, to do something special. Nelson never has and never will be able to do that. (Witness, sitting Baron Davis the entire last half of the must-win-to-make-the-playoffs game of the 2007-2008 season).

But, go ahead, hire Nellie. Just a bunch more wins for the teams I like.
