The National Perspective
Former Colleagues Weigh In...
"David helped me as much as anyone that I worked with during my time in Indiana, and his work with Conseco made it the best building in the league. He has a wealth of experience and will do a great job in Minnesota. David is very capable of capitalizing on the position the Timberwolves franchise is in and taking that team to the next level."
- Donnie Walsh, New York Knicks President of Basketball Operations
"I think the world of David. I've known him since we first crossed paths back at UCLA and I have nothing but admiration and respect for all that he's accomplished throughout his career. David will bring a tremendous background to the job, particularly from his time with Donnie at the Pacers. I've always had a fondness for the Timberwolves, and with the group of exciting young players they've assembled, I think they have a great opportunity in front of them. I'm thrilled that David is getting this chance and I think he'll do a phenomenal job."
- Larry Brown, Charlotte Bobcats Head Coach
"I'm very happy for David. He's a very intelligent guy and knows the ins and outs of this league as well as anyone. David has all the tools to get the job done in Minnesota."
- Larry Bird, Indiana Pacers President of Basketball Operations
"An excellent hire. David has great knowledge of both the basketball and business sides of an NBA franchise. He is a highly-motivated person that will bring out the best in the people who work with him."
- Rick Carlisle, Dallas Mavericks Head Coach
"David is a remarkably gifted individual, with a combination of high intelligence, a major-league work ethic, and a great understanding of what makes teams successful. His ability to understand the dynamics of an NBA franchise is a real strength and he'll be someone the Timberwolves can look to for leadership and sound decision-making."
- Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs Head Coach
