Those wishing for a return to the Wolves’ “glory” days by bringing Flip Saunders back, well, looks like it’s just a dream. Not only does it look like Flip will be announced sometime in the next week as the Washington Wizards next coach, but he also might bring Sammy Cassell along with him. Actually, Sammy and Agent Zero — Gilbert Arenas — in a weird sort of way might speak the same language.

It’d also make sense for former Wolves coach Randy Wittman to end up in Washington with the Flipster. He’s out of work and worked with Flip for years with the Wolves.

Gee, if you were Flip and you had the choice, what would you choose: Arenas, Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, etc., and a good chance at a Top 3 pick or Big Al and crew? Granted, the Wizards have serious health questions, but that team could make a mighty leap next season if all the stars align.

Now, the biggest question is, what will the Gophers do when Tubby eventually bolts?
