Fan Opinion--What Needs To Happen?


One way or another, big changes have to be made in the Timberwolves organization, as most people have known for years now. The biggest task Minnesota’s franchise must accomplish off the court is to win back their fans, but is that possible?

With the dismal basketball displayed by the team the past three seasons, the only cards that the Timberwolves had to play were that it is always a joy to watch Kevin Garnett play…or that there is hope for the future. Yet, it seems as if fans do not believe in any of the hope that the team is placing in front of them, real or fake.

That’s why I’m asking for your opinions on this topic.

Has the void between the Timberwolves and their fans gotten so vast that there is no coming back?

Do you believe that fans will again flock to the Target Center to watch the hometown team as long as there is hope for the future and a plan in place to get there that you actually buy?

What needs to happen for you to believe that this team is finally moving in the right direction?


…and, please, we all know that everyone believes that Kevin McHale should go. We all know that a majority of people believe that Glen Taylor is in over his head. Let’s not go there yet again.

If the product on the floor is of good quality (with or without Kevin Garnett), will you return to support the team?

First, I think the team has started in the right direction by trading Mike James for Howard.

I think there are still many things that need to be done, and below are just SOME of those things:

1) Trade (or get rid of) Marko Jaric, Tranton Hassel and Troy Hudson.

2) Make a decision on KG, and make sure the fans know your stance.

3) If KG is traded, make sure you get some very good future players(Amare or Jefferson).

4) Make a good draft selection. When I say "good", I mean don't pick Noah or Hawes. While I'd be much more satisfied with Hawes than Noah, I think Brewer would be the best choice.

Like I said, this isn't everything, but it's a good start.

I'd like to see numbers 1 and 4 accomplished for sure.
