Well, if Minnesota was looking to trade Garnett, I don't think they'd do any better than Odom, Butler, Grant, and a 10th overall draft pick...Odom alone has potential to be a Garnett (doesn't mean he'll ever reach that status)...Butler is on his way to being an excellent player...Grant is losing his game, but I have a feeling he's already had his worst season this year...Then you got the #10 pick...Remember, Kobe was a #13 pick and even Garnett was picked up late at the #5 spot...You never know, that could be a good deal...Minnesota is in need of a new style, and this could go good...Imagine for Minnesota, what their starting line-up and bench would look like...They'd be so uptempo and would bring some excitement...
Starting 5:
PG Sam Cassel
SG Latrell Sprewell
SF Caron Butler
PF Lamar Odom
C Michael Olowakandi
Bench:
Wally Sczerbiak
Brian Grant
Trenton Hassel
Troy Hudson
Ndudi Ebi (this kid can be big)
Eddie Griffin
Mark Madsen
Ervin Johnson
Fred Hoiberg
+the 10th overall pick
...This could actually be a positive bounce-back for an organization that always seemed real, but ended up flopping every time...This season was rock-bottom for Minnesota, and this could be a turning point...I think the trade could turn out reasonable for Minnesota...I know the fans might hate it, but I gaurantee that the roster I just posted would AT LEAST make the playoffs, which is a step upwards...Then they can build on that.
Now, for the Lakers...Ooooh-weee, can anybody say "instant champions"? Imagine what a dynamic duo that would be; Kobe & KG...Could even turn out better than Kobe & Shaq, if the chemistry is right...And Phil Jackson coaching? Get the fuck outta here...Even with losing their 2nd and 3rd best player, they'd still have an amazing roster...
PG Chucky Atkins
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Devean George
PG Kevin Garnett
C Chris Mihm
Bench:
Vlade Divac
Brian Cook
Jumain Jones
Sasha Vujacic
Luke Walton
Slava Medvadenko
Tierre Brown
Tonny Bobbit
Okay, so they might need a little improvement on their bench and point guard position, but even this roster would easily go deep in the playoffs...Imagine if they could sign a strong, solid point guard, maybe like an Antonio Daniels...Then add some depth to the bench by acquiring a roll player or two...They can easily trade players like Medvadenko, Walton, or even Cook and come up with a bench player that'll fit the system perfectly...Most likely I'm just getting my hopes way up, but it would be a cool thing to see...PeACe
