Funny someone saying basically the same thing just yesterday that he has a source very close to KG telling him that KG will be traded to Phoenix or already has been and everyone made fun of him and now that they see it on realgm they are all like WTF.

JuX

Same thing. Getting those infos from third party isn't always a good idea. Direct source would be great.

We will never win a championship without KG. And since when is it more important for an NBA franchise to care more about being "fair" to a player than to win games? It's only fair to the fans to let them enjoy the one great player this franchise has ever had.

He gets paid $5.5Mil less, which is not a big deal at all when dealing with such big contracts. He's only 2 years younger. It's harder to trade for Garnett than Marion, because you're going to have to give up a lot more for a vastly superior player. But if the Wolves wanted to trade Garnett they wouldn't have any problems doing it.

btw, we've seen this same exact thing for a good 5 years now. Every summer and right before the trade deadline there is some insider who says a deal is pretty much done. And guess what, it never happens. That same exact person made a thread on RealGM last year talking about how pissed off KG was and that he probably would be traded. And again, never happened. If you want to convince yourself it is gonna happen I won't blame ya, I'd be stoked to hear my favorite team might be getting Garnett too. But when it's all said and done chances are it's just BS as usual.

You don't know that for certain. Why anyone would want to be mediocre over building themselves up for the future is beyond me.

I try to stay hopeful. KG can lead us close into the play-offs. The team just needs to do the rest.

Just as you don't know for certain that we won't win a title with KG. I know how badly this organization has been run through Garnett's tenure here. I can't imagine how they would build a contending team without Garnett when they failed so miserably at doing the same thing with Garnett. What is it that gives you faith in this organization to rebuild when they couldn't even build in the first place after lucking out and getting a hall of famer?

Sorry

could u imagine nash dishing to amare AND kg?

bruno34115

You are completely missing the point. The point is this, Kevin Garnett and the Timberwolves have NO CHANCE of winning a championship or making any significant playoff runs. Regardless of whether or not we trade Garnett this team will not win a championship and we will continue to be a mediocre franchise. So my question to you is this, in 5 years from now would you rather have a team with no chance (only the current pieces, and a retired KG) or would you rather have a young up and coming team that someday could make a run?

Now that I think about it, the Wolves have to at least ask for Amare don't they? I mean if they don't they would be doing a disservice to the fans. The truth is, you can't just trade Marion for picks and Ratliff's expiring contract and then have the team not have a great player (and please don't say Randy Foye). It's going to be hard to sell the fans on that. The T'Wolves would be one of the worst two teams in basketball if Marion is traded for and then they let him go.

if they are actually talking the wolves HAVE to ask for amare and not budge on it... its a loong off-season so no need to rush into a deal.
if Garnett leaves i want to see him win a title, and i think the suns can do it anyway if they do trade stoudemire.
nash marion garnett is rediculously good.

still, if they are already talking whats the point of the howard trade, whats the point of getting marion?...

i dont want Garnett gone regardless... favourite player, favourite team so i cant look at it any differently.

JuX

No, then the Wolves has made the most lopsided trade ever.

Avalanche

exactly, not only does it not give us enough value in return if we dont get amare but it makes pheonix almost unbeatable as far as im concerned
