Who the fuck can you give Minnesota in order to make them giving KG away? What the fuck? The only player comparable to KG is Kobe, and you wont trade him right? And no, not every team trades a pure superstar for a mix of wannabe allstars and bench-warmers like you did last year.

Whose that big ass named All-Star that didnt make the playoffs if not Z? Vince? Hill? Kidd? Don't see that comin.. Matter of fact, every big named All-Star who didnt make the playoffs is old. Except LeBron and Wade you know, but those definitely won't be traded. Marbury? Abdur-Rahim?
LOL. In another thread I saw you claim they aquire KG - LOL. This is so unrealistic, he didnt even come to my mind when I thought about who you claim they will get. Keep dreaming.

Second, the Lakers will try to aquire Kevin Garnett. This will all depend on the Lakers being able to trade up high enough to acquire high school phenom, Gerald Green, and Kevin Garnett's cooperation. To the latter, the Laker organization has not contacted Garnett (as it would be a violation) but he has heard through the grapevine that if he wants out to LA, the Lakers could put together a special package to get him. To the former, the acquisition of Gerald Green would allow the Laker organization to trade Lamar Odom and Caron Butler to get Kevin Garnett. Brian Grant and Wally Sczerbiack are also going to be involved in the trade. Gerald Green is a high school phenom with a tremendous amount of potential. With Kobe Bryant as his mentor, he may be able to realize some of his potential immediately. Also the franchise would be very safe in the SF position in the future with Green. Unfortunately, there is no scenario where we would be able to acquire Kevin Garnett if Gerald Green is not drafted.
1) KG wants out. He is in Greenville, SC contemplating asking for a trade. He wants to play in LA or Cleveland. Its a delicate situation because its not in KGs persona to ask for a trade, but he wants to win.
2) Gerald Green is the essential component. Many people think that the Lakers are trying to trade up in order to get a PG or Bogut. With Green you'll be able to move Butler and Odom without much production loss. Green can put in the points and Garnett can pull in the rebounds. The Lakers will not go for Garnett if they cannot get Green. Remember, the Lakers are working under the triangle, its essential that there be two swing men in the absence of a dominant center. Neither JJ nor Luke are capable of being swingmen. Lamar and Caron are capable. Its rationale too...no matter what you guys think, a duo of KG/Kobe without Green loses in the first round with the role players we'd be stuck with.
3) I am close with the organization (Lakers), there is a situation here in Washington, DC which is why I'm not in Los Angeles right now. My association with the organization is how I know these things.

If Lakers get Garnett, the lakers will have two of the top 5 players in THE NBA :o. That's fuckin sick. I'll be first in line to get a Garnett Laker jersay (i already have a wolves one). Only reason I like the Wolves is becuase of Garnett, if he goes to the Lakers, the lakers got a new fan ;D.
BUt i've admired how Garnett would sacrifice things for Minn. You know, a player that stays with one team for the rest of their career are hard to come by now a days. That's why we have 'Franchise Players' and such.
