The William Clay Ford of the NBA just sent his Matt Millen downstairs to the court, an incompetent owner betraying the Minnesota Timberwolves faithful again. Together, Glen Taylor and Kevin McHale conspired to carry out one of the worst cases of fraud in NBA history seven years ago. They cheated the salary cap and it cost them a chance to construct a contender around Kevin Garnett. The franchise never recovered, and the con has never ended.
With or without NBA probation, the Wolves would still be a failed franchise. McHale has a list of first-round picks this decade that defies reason – Paul Grant, William Avery, Ndudi Ebi and Corey Brewer. He turned draft-day choices of Ray Allen, Brandon Roy and O.J. Mayo into Stephen Marbury, Randy Foye and Kevin Love.

I don't mind people taking Taylor and McHale to task for the failures of this franchise. That's called accountability.
But the endless train of professional journalists calling Love over Mayo a mistake after 20 games is getting ridiculous.
