When will KG retire?

[KG5MVP]

When do you think KG will retire? I think he should retire after this seasons early playoff exit, his body just can't keep up anymore.

[Meticode]

2 years, he has a lot of miles in that body that have been played.

[rizzy]

superstars shouldn't retire until their late 30's.... he could still be effective coming off the bench in 2 years

[scott0326]

IMO it depends when he decides he cant play anymore, he'll likely announce it at a press conference and a lot of people will likely care.

Most superstars don't get drafted out of high school and play 2-3 earlier than most college players. At the age of 35 he's going to have the miles of a 40 year old on his body. I'd be surprised if he's playing in 3 years still.

[RoTM]

I bet he plays out his contract and then does another year somewhere before he realizes its over.

[JayGuevara]

At the current rate, 2-3 years after this prolly? After that he'll prolly realize it's a wrap sadly.

But I'm still hopin he finds the fountain of youth.

sigh...there is no fountain of youth...

It's all going to come down to his knee. If he can stay healthy, I bet he retires in 2 years. Maybe 3 depending on how this season goes. If he hurts that knee again, he's gone.

I'm just glad he got a ring to compliment all the hard work he put in over the years. As a kid, I wanted to be like KG soooooo much. the dude is a true NBA superstar who has had a dream career. It will be sad to see him go.

:wtf: isn't that when most players decide its time to retire ?

[Al Thornton]

3 years max, the injuries aren't going to stop

[BigTicket]

I love KG, but his body is wearing down and he needs to retire soon. As it is he's already top 20 alltime in minutes played.

I'd say finish the two seasons he has left on his contract, then retire.

On a side note he will be the most overpayed player in the league in 11/12 when he'll make over $21M and his stats will probably be something like 10/5.

[ShaqAttack3234]

When he came to the Celtics, I thought he'd age a lot better than this, but after his subtle decline last season and his injury, I knew he was done as an elite player. He's still a valuable player when he's on the court, but nothing more than a 3rd option at best at this point.

He won't

[Kingsfans818]

when his contract expires..he's already lost a step or 3...

[shawbryant]

Wow, after his retirement then how far can Kobe, Duncan keep fighting?

I hate all of this talk about HE NEEDS TO RETIRE. Of course, being a Shaq fan I've heard it plenty. As long as dude has the mind and the will to play, he should play. He is obviously not going to be able to do what he did, but he's still a 6'11 guy who can hit the jumper and defend other PFs. That makes him better than a lot of role players.

But if he is like MJ and decides he won't accept being a role player then he should retire as soon as his contract expires.

[Kobe Jnr]

Well i think he has like 2/3 years on his current contract at about 20 million per year. I think he will retire after his next deal ends..

[plowking]

2012

But no one will be playing after then...
teehee

[Ace]

The one guy who should retire after this season's end is McGrady, watching the guy "play" is downright depressing, his body has completely given up on him.
Garnett still can contribute as a solid role player.

[Harison]

He is adjusting to his condition and pacing his body, this way he can continue 3-4 years, unless knee totally gives out. Several more years as starter IMO, after that - solid bench player, depends on the team of course.

The way he plays now doesnt require much athleticism, like yesterday 26/9 in 27 mins with insane efficiency, its a good contribution regardless how you slice it.

[Andrei89]

Behind his trash talk and taunting there is a real pashion about the game for KG.

He loves the game i think it will hurt him a lot when he cannot play anymore

[MK2V1GP]

When are you going to stop making these threads? I swear you made this same thread no less than 2 weeks ago.

[HylianNightmare]

Whenl his contract ends

[MeLO MvP 15]

I think when his contract is up... he seems to have to much pride to play at a low level for so long....

all the celtics are going to retire after yesterday's performance hahahahahah

[okayabc123]

KG can probably save a year of his professional career by being calm before/during/after the game. I swear, dude spend so much energy and effort just to get up and get in the moment of the game. Relax!!!

[ZHAKIDD532]

By the time his current contract is over he'll have realized he's done. He won his title.

[1~Gibson~1]

Kevin "Mother****ing" Garnett will retire in 2000 mother****ing 20 after the mother****ing Celtics extend his contract and the mother****ing Magic get kicked out of the mother****ing playoffs by the mother****ing Celtics.

[Kobe_6/8]

KG proving everybody wrong in 2016 :bowdown:

[HoopologyPhD]

KG should have retired a few years ago IMHO. I doubt there have been many MVP type players with worse endings to their career in terms of stats and game impact.

Garnett is still the best defender on the team when he plays, with respectable stats per minute, and his role now is mentoring, which is ideal for a young team like Wolves.

I dont see anything wrong with that. Guy loves basketball too much to quit as soon as his stats dip, he couldnt care less about that. KG gets to play some minutes, guides younglings, and gets paid millions to do that. Win-win-win :cheers:

[senelcoolidge]

career totals per game are dropping each year he stays way past his prime. He'll stay until he can't collect a paycheck anymore. He's probably almost broke.

[Pushxx]

There's no way KG does more bad than good being on your team. Doesn't matter how bad Minnesota is. It's ****ing KG. Sells tickets, teaches youngsters, changes culture...he's a legend.
