Reminder to owner Glen Taylor, don't take advice from David Stern.

The news of David Kahn getting dumped by the Minnesota Timberwolves broke Thursday afternoon and the fans rejoiced like they were finally free from sporting prison after a three-year sentence that they didn't deserve.

Rightfully so, too. The nightmare is over, and fans deserve to be joyous after Kahn gave them so many reasons since he was hired in 2009 to cancel their season tickets. Pretty soon the Jonny Flynn and manna from heaven jokes will fade away the same way Joe Smith and T-Hud cracks did when the last front office was shown the door.

It was reported that Stern suggested David Kahn to the T-Wolves.

How is it that he had the authority to make a suggestion of that manner of forcing a complete stranger on a owner???

He didn't force him, the T-Wolves owner was naive enough to believe in Stern's wisdom.

Was this guy a neophyte as a owner??
