Kevin McHale had a press conference on Thursday afternoon and took the blame for the Wolves disappointing season.

"It was a very frustrating year, a very bad year for us," McHale said in a rare press conference. "I'm in charge of the basketball department, so everything that happens is on me. The bad year was my fault. ... The buck stops with me. There's absolutely no excuses for anything. I wish we had a lot better year and we didn't.

"I've already talked to Glen," McHale said. "I'm coming back. Glen and I had a talk a couple weeks ago and he said, 'What do you think?' I said, 'I'm very disappointed with this year' and I said, 'Glen this is not the way that I want to leave the Timberwolves, after a 33-win season.' It's not the way I want to leave this team in this spot."

"Oh, by the way, Kevin Garnett's staying here," McHale said definitively. "He's under contract, he wants to be here, he wants this thing to work. ... He wants to make it work."
