The Wolves have enough good players that don't pull their weight.The Wolves don't want to part with KG and get nothing. KG is not signing next year. Hell, most everyone in the Twin Cities, I live here now, says they want the Wolves to trade Garnett. And these are Wolves fans, who go to the games. They don't blame KG, they blame McHale. So don't be surprised when KG goes, and people here feel happy for him.Trust me, I know. I have lived in the Twin Cities all of my life. I'm just saying, Ricky Davis, Mark Blount and Randy Foye are all good players, BUT they aren't consistant and they get down on themselves. That is why they lose. If Odom does the same thing, trading an outstanding player like KG for just a good player like Odom won't help the Wolves any. I mean, when it comes time to deal KG, the Wolves want to be able to get some people in return that will turn around the franchise, not keep it just like it is.

They got lucky this year with the lottery, but they still don't have any of their own first round picks until after 2010.

So don't be surprised when KG goes, and people here feel happy for him.Like I said, KG wont turn things around if we dont have a TEAM. Minnesota would take Odom for KG in a heartbeat. That's most likely the best prospect they'll get their hands on, considering McHale cares WHERE KG wants to go, after the loyalty he's shown the franchise. But KG alone wont do it for us. Odom's stats this season are better than last seasons, and that's WITH a torn labrum (which he played through, showing his resilience), so how has his value gone down? Odom is our best rebounder, best passer, best playmaker, best post player, best defender (at the sf-pf position), etc...He means a lot to this team, and we aren't playoff bound without him...If I'm Mitch, I'm going after a real point guard with a strong mentality. I think that will put this team over and we will be able to play how we started this season ALWAYS...PeACe

You don't think Baron wouldn't take a pay cut to come home and lead Kobe and KG to a title.

Names Tony Dorsett and Magic Johnson as his sports heroesthis from his offical NBA bio. I'm saying, KG to LA.http://www.nba.com/playerfile/kevin_garnett/bio.html

And would the Pacers be willing to trade their only player keeping their franchise from drowning for some players that may or may not come through for them? I wish the Wolves had draft picks to deal. They got lucky this year with the lottery, but they still don't have any of their own first round picks until after 2010. They need to trade to get them.

McHale traded them. One with Sam Cassell for Marko Jaric and Lionel Chalmers of the Clippers and the other went to Boston with Wally Szczerbiak, Dwayne Jones and Michael Olowokandi, for Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Justin Reed, Marcus Banks, and two second round draft picks. This is why I moved to be with my girl, and still kept my home team... lol. Actually, I'll never trade on the Lakers, and the T'Wolves make it easy.
