Is McHale Really Going To Decide His Own Future?

Marc Stein/ESPN: The headline for Marc Stein's ESPN column suggested that Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor is letting McHale decide for himself if he wants to return as the coach next season. I don't really buy it honestly. McHale doesn't have a contract for next season and Glen Taylor only wants to commit to one year, while McHale is looking for a two year commitment. So if McHale decides he wants to come back for 2 years, and Taylor won't budge and give him the extra year, then McHale might decide to not return at all, although who's going to give him a multi-million dollar job at this point?

Further complicating matters is the fact that the Timberwolves don't have a GM. Are there any good GMs out there that could be talked into keeping McHale on as a head coach? This scenario would only scoop out a bunch of under qualified GM candidates desperate for a GM job, under any crappy circumstances.
