New Wolves boss David Kahn (note: we know he has a real title, but we prefer “boss”) spoke to ESPN.com’s True Hoop blog, primarily about Ricky Rubio. A quick glimpse:

What is the state of his buyout?
I don’t know. We’re not running the point on that. It’s really a question for Dan Fegan.

What about the state of relations between the Rubios and the Timberwolves?
The buyout comes first, right? Not too much can happen until that’s taken care of.

Have you been getting a lot of offers for Ricky Rubio?
A lot the week of the draft, yes. But we have stated our position that we are not interested in trading him, and the offers have slowed right down.

What about the idea that the buyout is a red herring?
Does $5.7 million seem like no big deal to you? $5.7 million is nothing to sneeze at. Your questions are legitimate, but a lot of them are about atmospherics. Right now we’re in a stage where Ricky and his family have to figure out what makes sense for them.

Kahn also cryptically says “you presume he hasn’t been here to visit.” Any interview that includes that line adn the word “atmospherics” is OK in our book. Here’s the whole thing.
