It may not be happening as quickly as some might like, but it appears Fred Hoiberg, the former Minnesota Timberwolf forced into retirement by a heart condition, who has become involved in the front office of the Wolves, is still being groomed to take over Kevin McHale’s role when he finally decides to step away from the team. When that will be, no one is sure, but Hoiberg is the heir apparant.
“We’re getting him involved in all parts, and this coming year, we’ll get him some more responsibilities,” owner Glen Taylor told TwinCities.com columnist Charley Walters recently.
Let me be your travel guide to at least one degree, Fred: despite the tendencies of your predecessor, there are a lot of other teams to make deals with other than the Boston Celtics.
On a related note, if the Celtics win it all this year, I nominate the man most responsible for Boston’s return to glory, Minnesota GM/team VP Kevin McHale, as the NBA GM of the year.
