((HT: MyFoxTwinCities/KARE-11))
Minnesota Timberwolves President David Kahn said last week that he asked current head coach Kurt Rambis to write a report about the changes he would make if he is retained for a third season as head coach.
Rambis has two years left on a four-year deal and he has a career 32-132 record so far...
Kahn says he and Rambis met for four hours before his homework assignment was given, and the two met to discuss the report Rambis turned in.
The reason the HQ tells you about the beginning is that Yahoo!Sports is reporting that Rambis will not be retained...
The end...
Did he flunk out...???
A source close to Rambis told ESPN's Ric Bucher that Rambis' firing is "not true," and that Kahn wouldn't talk about speculation of any kind...
This comes two days after the introduction of Ricky Rubio to the Twin Cities...
FOSG Adrian Wojnarowski says that the T-Wolves are looking at Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar as the replacement, and he will be named after the completion of the NBA Draft.
Ugh, yuck, and poo...

Ty Lawson Goes Off... In A Good Way...
Lawson made his first 10 3-pointers on his way to a career-high as Denver beat Minnesota 130-106.
As a result... he is the first player in NBA history to make each of his first 10 3-point attempts to start a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He became the 10th player in the last 25 years to make 10 threes in a game. The last player to do it was teammate J.R. Smith, who did it twice.
Here's your montage...

MeloDrama Over...??? Knicks Land Anthony
League sources are telling ESPN's Chris Broussard that none of the teams involved- the Knicks, Minnesota, and Denver- can say anything until tomorrow.
Here's the break-down according to Broussard...
Denver gets Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks' 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash while Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman will head to New York, according to the Denver Post.
New York will send Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota as part of the deal.
"I'm glad its over," Nuggets coach George Karl said, according to the Denver Post. "I'm glad it's an opportunity to reinvent. I think everybody handled it as classy as you could handle it. There's some sadness to it, there always will be."
The Hochman and Dempsey piece from the Post is hyah...
Here's CBSDenver catching up with George Karl

T-Wolves GM Fined For Talking Beasley And Pot
((HT: KSTP-AM 1500))
The NBA has fined Minnesota Timberwolves president David Kahn $50,000 for his comments about forward Michael Beasley's marijuana use.
The league also fined the Timberwolves organization another $50,000 on top of that for what it called "inappropriate comments."
In an interview with KSTP-AM 1500 ESPN, Kahn called the recently acquired Beasley "a very young and immature kid who smoked too much marijuana" while he was playing in Miami.
Nicely put without the filter...
Kahn has not been known recently for his intellect or his acumen...
Here's the interview with Reusse and Mackey...
And here's what the T-Wolves hope they get in Beasley

What's Catalan For "Two More Years...?"
((HT: Yahoo!Sports/Wojnarowski))
Ricky Rubio – the fifth pick in the 2009 NBA draft – has agreed to a six-year contract with Regal FC Barcelona that doesn’t allow for an escape to the NBA until 2011. Kahn made several trips to Spain to try to get Rubio’s previous team, DKV Joventut, to lower his $8 million buyout price, but couldn’t get it done.
The Timberwolves will retain Rubio’s rights, and will now hand the team’s point guard duties to rookie Jonny Flynn. Kahn drafted Flynn one pick behind Rubio.
Rubio, 18, apparently won’t play for the T’wolves until the 2011-12 season, and that’s devastating for the franchise’s new regime, which hoped to tout Rubio as one of its fresh-faced stars. Minnesota was able to legally pay only $500,000 toward the buyout, and the relative constraints of the Twin Cities’ market made the accumulation of endorsement deals difficult to close the gap on the buyout figure. Rubio would’ve made nearly $3.3 million in the NBA this season as the fifth pick in the draft.
Rubio and his family were never enamored with Minnesota, and along with agent Dan Fegan, longed for a big-city franchise to market Rubio’s wares. Now, there’s a chance that Minnesota eventually will have to trade Rubio’s rights – perhaps to the New York Knicks, a preferred destination – when it’s time for the point guard to leave Europe in 2011.
Here's what David Kahn and the Timberwolves were banking on:

McHale gone from the Navy (Joke)...fired from T-Wolves
Yes, let the NBA Coaching Carousel continues. Kevin McHale, former GM and well, now former coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves will apparently be looking for work.The funny thing about it, the story broke late last night after Timberwolves Forward Kevin Love made a Twitter post about it. The story from StarTribune.com here .
More from FOX 9 in Minneapolis here . And TwinCities.com here . All of these reports seem to confirm that the story is true, but no details have been released yet.
Nobody has video at this point, nor has there been a press conference. When one happens we will let you know. Although maybe you and we should check out Kevin Love's Twitter page first.
