Walking, Talking Ethics Violation/Crap Reporter Reports That Flip Saunders Might Be The Wolves' Next GM

U of M fundraiser Sid Hartman:

There are several indications pointing to the likelihood of former Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders replacing David Kahn as president of basketball operations for the team before the 2013-14 season.

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor wasn't available for comment on the subject Saturday, but he hasn't kept it a secret that Saunders has served as a consultant for him on the basketball team during this season.

It was interesting to see Taylor's quote in Thursday's Star Tribune about his contact with Saunders. Taylor said: "He's pretty well aware of what is happening with the Timberwolves."

And then some time ago Taylor talked about how he was in contact with Saunders for information on how to handle the many injuries the Wolves have suffered this season.

And the word is that Saunders made a trip to Mankato to talk basketball with Taylor.

Unless Saunders is offered a coaching job that would pay him a lot more money than he would get being the Wolves' president of basketball operations, I think it's a strong possibility that Saunders will replace Kahn before next season.

No. Please no. Not again.
