Wolves trying to trade for Garnett

[Fudge]

Wtf. :oldlol:


ESPN sources say Wolves and Nets have discussed deal to send Thad Young to Brooklyn in exchange for KG ... who of course has no-trade clause

[navy]

Sauce?

[JohnFreeman]

Retire him in Minnesota, jersey goes up, he gets part ownership

[Jud]

KG gonna end his career where he first started. I likey :applause:

[kurple]

im sure this would get more people to watch the team play

hope KG says yes

[fpliii]

Would rather him go to Washington (with Pierce) or LAC (with Doc) at this point, but heading back to finish off his career in Minny would be pretty cool.

[poido123]

Why

[keep-itreal]

he should return to boston instead. Finish where his career started

[gts]

I don't know what to say... :lol

I guess if he's willing to wave the no trade clause more power to him

[GoRapz]

Why not just sign Garnett when he expires? I would think that you could atleast get some assets for Thad

[KNOW1EDGE]

he should return to boston instead. Finish where his career started

Dirty! But true.

But why would Min give up someone with value for a guy who can't barely play 15 min in back to back games. And he is absolutely washed up.

Thad Young has value and Minny could actually get some good young talent for him. Why waste that for the sentiment of bringing KG back? Well, Minnys management is straight hp retarded so it will prob happen

[bigkingsfan]

Bring Marbury back from China, get Tom Gugliotta out of retirement.

[305Baller]

PR stunt for ticket sales.

[Bobcats2013]

I think they're doing this for the young talent. Wiggins and LaVine. That team needs a real veteran leader.

[Done_And_Done]

I was gunna say that there has to be picks involved but Brooklyn ain't got none lol

[Eric Cartman]

he should return to boston instead. Finish where his career started

True shit.

[Nets fan 93]

Why
A couple of reasons.
1. KG started his career there. It would definitely get more people in the seats if he was there.
2. He brings awesome leadership. He has taught Mason Plumlee a LOT. He can teach Wiggins and the rest of their young talent a lot as well.
3. He has a pretty nice big expiring contract.
4. Yeah he may not be the offensive player he was but his defense is still there. The nets a noticeably worse on defense when KG is out of the game. And he is still a solid rebounder for his minutes.

[The Iron Sheik]

garnett would eat his own mother's heart before he went back to minny. he's said that he has nothing positive to say about the organization. he's gonna get bought out, get picked up by a fringe contender and play like 18mpg before retiring after the season is over.

Even though he's never had anything negative to say about Minny?

And even though he's said he's interested in being a partial owner of the wolves once his career is over?

And why the fuhck would Minny trade Thad Young just to buy-out KG?

saying that you have nothing positive to say about a team that you spent most of your career playing for is a negative in and of itself

of course he could have interest in being a part owner. owning a team and playing for them are 2 different things.

and i meant that he would get bought out by the nets, not minny

[305Baller]

He's good for a couple more headbutts.

[brooks_thompson]

A move like this is worth it for the homecoming good will, and to give wiggins a few months of tutelage under someone who knows the kind of attitude it takes to transform an entire team culture.

Pretty much. Plumlee improved a lot, and he himself said its mostly because of Garnett's mentoring. Wolves might have this as one of the reasons to trade for KG.

Yeah why not:confusedshrug:

Both teams going nowhere anyway..

why?

[sfballa13]

When Miami misses the playoffs and their pick ends up in the lottery, Flip Saunders will look like the biggest dumb fcuk in the history of the NBA

Trading a lottery pick for KG all while ruining his lottery chances and stunting development of their youth by starting and giving Thad Young big minutes

That's kind of wierd considering Garnett said he wants to buy the T'Wolves one day. I think this is a move in that direction.

Hope this happens. He could toughen up Wiggins and help him develop his already good post moves to be elite.

[swagga]

what a sorry joke of a franchise.

why isn't this team moved to seattle yet?

[JellyBean]

Only in Minnesota. But I can see this being just a move to provide some leadership for the young guys coming up. KG is a solid leader. Just crazy knowing that it was 20 years ago we drafted Da Kid.


Come on home, KG :applause:

[Eric Cartman]

Ray should go to the Bucks then.

[JtotheIzzo]

:applause:

I was thinking the same thing, get some KG psycho-ness for Wiggins, turn him into a raw meat eater.

Shrewd move by Minny if they can pull this off. Give KG a front office job next year as incentive.

[Ca$H]

Wiggins with KG's intensity = top 10 GOAT.

Big Ticket - still has connections to Flip.
They had gone to war for many years , and I think it is a great thing Flip is doing to bring KD back for his last hurray with the organization.

Stating in no uncertain terms , no hard feelings.

It really comes down to Garnett , because of his family.

If I was the Wolves fans , I would go to the games , to give tribute.

Needless to say his number will be retired in Minny. :applause: :applause: :applause:

[jzek]

Hopefully Marbury re-signs with them as well. I've always wanted to see KG and Steph vs KD and Westbrook...

[CP343]

I'd laugh if KG rejects it.

[Fudge]

UPDATE:

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 48s48 seconds ago
Hearing cautious optimism emanating from Minneapolis that Kevin Garnett is leaning toward waiving no-trade clause and returning to Minnesota

:banana:

[Cold soul]

UPDATE:


:banana:

Great news. KG should retire where his career started.

[Nets fan 93]

Damn I would miss KG a hella lot. Really disliked him last year, but he was more ready this year and was very consistent defensively. Hope this happens though. Nets need Thad's athletecism so bad

[pastis]

UPDATE:


:banana:

kg needs this. he needs to hear the fans cheering for him. will be the first time since 2008

[FireDavidKahn]

I would jack off all over my laptop, target center, and blow Saunders if he pulls this off. Then next year KG can buy the Wolves.:banana:


No homo.

Hearing Kevin Garnett will speak to Timberwolves brass today about possibility of going back to Minnesota to finish things out.


I don't see how KG would say no.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Nooo this is going to make the Nets better

[Nets fan 93]

Nooo this is going to make the Nets better
Not on defense. Or in rebounding

[ArbitraryWater]

It's done.

[FireMcFailPlease]

thad isn't obviously in the Wolves future.

KG is a proven leader. Even as a 15 mpg player, from the bench, is leadership is needed.

Hope this pulled off and KG can play one more year

[You Cant Ban Me]

Damn didnt see this thread :applause:

[Optimus Prime]

Looks like it's a done deal according to Woj.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA

[Fudge]

It's official. KG is coming back. :bowdown:

Source: Kevin Garnett agrees to trade, will go home to Minnesota for Thaddeus Young.

[avonbarksdale]

why would minnesota do this

[gts]

How cool is this for Garnett and Wolves fans...

congrats

[FireMcFailPlease]

why would minnesota do this
probably cause Thad was going to opt out and may as well sell a few tickets and try to convince KG to play one more?

[JerrySeinfeld]

why would minnesota do this

some things are bigger than basketball. minny needed a player mentor and KG was the perfect fit.

[Harison]

He is coming home :applause:

[Top Gun]

So much respect if this happens.
