From Rick Alonzo/Pioneer Press:
Still, Taylor insists McHale is the right person for the job and that the Wolves made the right decision to trade Garnett because it gives them a fresh start and was the best way to improve long term. And he said most season-ticket holders he has spoken with understand that.
He said McHale absolutely could steer the team through the rebuilding process. With help.
"I don't think I would rely on one person to do that," Taylor said. "I think we've gone to, at least for now, more of a group concept..."
Charley Walters/Pioneer Press on Glen Taylor:
For instance, he said, "Let's say we have some guys who aren't working hard enough; that's not going to be enough for me. I'm going to be keeping an eye on it, I'm going to be even more involved, I'm going to be asking questions."
Jack McCallum/SI.com on the "NBAsuperstarus":
