Timberwolves this summer. Assistant coach Ed Pinckney was on Michael Malones
staff in Denver last season, but has a long history of working with Tom
Thibodeau, who took over in Minnesota. At one point the Nuggets offered Pinckney
a bump in pay to stay on, but after initially agreeing, Pinckney ultimately
decided he wanted to leave for Minnesota.Pinckneys change of heart didnt sit
well with the Nuggets, who dug their heels in. The two teams went back and forth
for a month. The NBA ultimately got involved and Pinckney did not officially
join the Wolves until after training camp started, getting a sizable raise from
what he was making in Denver.UP NEXTNuggets: Visit Detroit on
Saturday.Timberwolves: Visit Oklahoma City on Saturday.
