I'm not going to lie to you. I know very little about the Minnesota Timberwolves, who haven't been even remotely close to relevant for years now, and that includes several years while Kevin Garnett was there. They suck, enormously and horribly. Plus they employ Mark Madsen, so you know there's no reason to take them seriously. In fact, you could argue that outside of New York, they were the worst run franchise in the NBA over the past how ever many years Kevin McHale has been GM there.

But now we get to have Kevin McHale, one of the worst GMs in recent memory, about to take over the controls of this sorry team from Randy Wittman. Sure, McHale is a Hall of Famer, but that's as a player, not a coach or GM.

Seriously, Bill Simmons is going to have a field day with this one.

Among the mistakes McHale has made in drafts: trading Ray Allen after selecting him fifth overall, trading Brandon Roy for Randy Foye, selecting Isaiah Rider Jr., Ndudi Ebi, and William Avery, all in the first round. In addition, McHale was in charge of numerous other bad decisions, such as dealing Sam Cassell for Marko Jaric and Lionel Chalmers, acquiring guard Mike James (giving him a massive contract) and soon after trading James for Juwan Howard, who never played a game in a Minnesota jersey. He also signed Michael Olowokand. Ouch. 

And last but not least, he traded the face of the franchise, Kevin Garnett, too late.

In fact, there's an argument out there that McHale has actually been a worse GM than Isiah. I don't quite buy that yet, because McHale hasn't cost his team $11 million in a sexual harrasment case, but on horrible personnel moves, they're really close.

Now, like Isiah once had the chance to do, McHale will get to the chance to coach the horrible lineup that he himself has assembled. If this doesn't get him fired soon enough, lord only knows what will. In any other line of work, McHale would have been fired half a decade ago.
