Wolves Updates 6/30 Part 2
twolvesblog.com 7/1/2009 — From Chris Mannix/SI.com:
Flynn is Kahn's insurance policy. The former Syracuse star is as NBA-ready as any point guard in the draft. He could easily win a starting job on a team that recently gutted its backcourt.
But Rubio's camp is not about to put Rubio in a minutes-sharing situation ...

twolvesblog.com 7/13/2009 — From Kevin Arnovitz/TrueHoop: Day Three Summer League Roundup

twolvesblog.com 7/6/2009 — Transformational was the word a strange guy who keeps making my day used to describe Ricky Rubio on draft night.

twolvesblog.com 7/22/2009 — From Britt Robson/On The Ball:
So, ultimately what we have out of this deal is a cleaner slate for Kahn to use. Like the Foye-Miller deal, we can't judge this trade unless a few more shoes drop. Foye-Miller clearly looks better in light of the Rubio drafting. Kahn is going to need similarly ...

twolvesblog.com 7/9/2009 — From Jerry Sullivan/The Buffalo News:
Critics roared when he took Flynn at No. 6, right after Rubio. I could hear the whispers: the sports writer had to show he was the smartest guy in the room. "Criticism is fine," Kahn said. "I'd be more mindful if I thought it was a close call. I believe ...
