Sid Hartman: Celtics were only major player for KG
Wolves owner Glen Taylor also said he had a lot of talks with Kevin Garnett about the future of the team, and in the end, it resulted in the trade to Boston.
By Sid Hartman, Star Tribune
Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said that while different media sources were speculating about trade possibilities for Kevin Garnett for some time, the only trade that even came close before the actual deal was made was an earlier conversation with the Celtics before the June NBA draft. "Had the Celtics being willing to give up their fifth pick in the first round and the player we wanted [Florida's Al Horford] been available, plus Al Jefferson, we might have considered that trade," Taylor said. "But they didn't agree to that. Furthermore, at the time, Kevin's agent said he wouldn't go there. They didn't want to make a commitment to him unless he was committed to them." Taylor said a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers was never close because there was a third team, Charlotte, involved, and the Bobcats never agreed.
the Lamar for Wallace + pick trade was the 1st step to get KG ... Jordan denied it
