Pioneer Press - Glen Taylor was recently interviewed by the St. Paul Pioneer Press and reiterated his desire to put a winning team on the floor that includes Kevin Garnett.

"Right after the playoffs, when I met with him, it was already then that he basically started changing. I saw him changing.

"Then this summer, you guys heard him say some stuff (in a SLAM Magazine interview). But that wasn't consistent with what he was doing with the team. He was practicing. He was doing all that. He was meeting with the guys. He was taking guys out for dinner. He was doing all kinds of stuff like that, which he hadn't done for a little while."

Taylor was then asked about rumors about his possible interest in selling the team.

"No, I'm not interested in selling it now. I still like it. Last year wasn't fun, but I still like the challenge of it. I really want to win.

"People say we're going to change Kevin (Garnett) and this type of stuff. Yeah, Kevin could leave, and I could probably make more money. But I want to see if we can win with him and build some guys around him."
