Jermaine's not a good defender, so he often gambles on blocks. Similar to Jamaal Tinsley and steals, but Jermaine's a better defender than Tinsley. Anyway, Jermaine jumps in the air more, making him foul opponents more, but also having a greater chance at a block.

No, I never said anything about Garnett's blocking abilities. I implied that he keeps his feet on the ground and doesn't go for the block as often, that's probably why he averages less blocks. Obviously, the more attempts you get at a block, the more blocks you're going to get.

Nope... KG is the better all-around defender... for sure... he is a good stealer... and a way better perimeter defender than JO is...
but I do believe JO is better at the swatting part of the D...
It is the only thing he is better at than KG...
JO prolly puts a lot more empasis on the shot blocking part of his D... it's a very strong point for him... KG has other things he can do... and has to worry about on the defensive end...

Let me get this straight, if you had a choice (regardless how much of a fan of Jermaine you are) who would you rather have? Jermaine or Garnett

Throw out my love for JO... and my loyalty to players who grow here... and give their all for our franchise...
And I would pick KG... he is obviously the more rounded baller... and a more experienced leader...
But as things stand... I want my JO in Indy... even at the expense of loosing an opportunity at a rare talent like KG...
Even if I weren't as huge a JO fan... and just a plain ol' Pacer fan... I would not want to give up JO for anything... he is a Pacer... through and through... He has given his heart to Indy... Who am I to say... BYE... THANKS FOR THE HELP OVER THE YEARS... WE RAISED YOU FROM A ROLE PLAYER INTO AN ALL-STAR... BUT ARE NOW READY TO MOVE ON...
Reggie has given me a serious loyalty complex when it comes to Pacer players... I say... Stick with what ya got... when it comes to all-stars who give you their all...

He rarely played in Portland. I think bench warmer would be the correct term.

Exactly right...This is one of the most pointless threads I've seen in a looong time. Minnesota is not trading us KG for JO. It's just not happening. And nothing short of JO/Granger/Tinsley would even get McHale to return a phone call.
Really, the only logic Kevin McHale needs to use in a JO for KG trade is the same logic Homer uses in a Simpsons episode when someone asks him if he wants to go to Canada: "Why would I want go to America Jr. if I'm already in America?"

Then where do you see KG ending up after this summer?.. He won't be in Minny... garaunteed... Their run together is about over...
If the Wolves wouldn't take JO for him... who else is better that you think they would go for?

haha very well said man. I agree, a 1 for 1 deal will not happen, although, and i don't think you're that much off on the trade proposal. JO, Granger and a Tinsley for KG seems right, and now you have to ask the question, would you do it? Because i wouldn't do it... i'd keep JO and Granger, definetly the upside of Granger and the current skill of JO is way too much and we're not rebuilding, but fix a few problems and we're contenders, no need for a blockbuster deal.

Granger is traded for no one outside a young stud more studly than himself.
