Basketball fans...
I've just read 21 pages of comments in the last three days from around the NBA about how the Timberwolves are shopping Kevin Garnett, and that a deal with the Celtics is imminent, and that their is a Trade with the Knicks, or the Lakers in the works...
First of all, they are trying to get a price check on their superstar... teams do it all the time.
Second, if the Wolves were to trade KG to Boston, Timberwolves fans would burn down the Target Center, and McHale would need a lot of security. Plus KG would opt out of his contract after the end of the season. He hates Wally Szerbziak, and why would he want to be traded to a team that is worse than the Timberwolves is a pussy division like the East... ANYWHERE in the east is a pussy team, except for Chicago, Detroit, or Miami... finally on that one... For Boston to match sallaries with the Wolves, Minnesota would have to take on 5 players and get at least 1 if not 2-3 first round picks. The Wolves have 12 players besides Garnett already under contract, and they have two draft picks. HMMM Doesn't add up to me.
3rd, The Knicks? You are on fucking crack! The Wolves just got rid of a headache headcase Point Guard/ that plays like a bad shooting guard... so there is no chance they'd go after Francis. I even read Marburry, and Frye for KG... Jesus wept, Marburry wouldn't be welcomed back here unless he went to center court of the Target Center, and begged us in tears to forgive him for the way he treated Minnesota, The Timberwolves, and Kevin Garnett by being a little piece of shit bitch, and demanding a trade. Again, I see bush getting elected as supreme dictator of the world before that happened, and I think 100 countries in the world would nuke us before allowing that... hopefully including the USA nuking our own selves!
4th, The Lakers only have one person that they could trade to get KG, and I don't think they would trade Kobe for KG.
Odom is hurt, and again it would take 5-6 players (who don't have a lot of talent to begin with) to equal the dollars without Kobe. So LA, go back to the cocaine, and wait for the state to sink in the ocean... because it's not going to happen.
5th. There are 3 teams that could possibly get KG if the Wolves were looking to trade him... maybe 2 others, but that would be ridiculous.
1- Phoenix - Stoudmire, or Marion plus Diow, and Tim Thomas for KG and Troy Hudson. Why would Phoenix want to do that?
2- Golden State... 3 1st round picks 2 this year, and 1 in 2010, plus 2 expiring contracts, Richardson, and maybe another player. Why would Golden State trade all of that?
3- (most likely if it were to happen) Chicago. Ben Gordon, Hinrich, Ty Thomas, and Deng for KG. Chicago is filled with stupid sports teams... Kenny Williams of the White Sox rivals McHale for stupidity at times. The Cubs are the worst franchise in professional sports... the loveable losers can't even be loved anymore with Soriano, Pinella, and spending 240 million dollars in the offseason... I see hating them like the Red Sox or Yankees as a religious duty now. And the Bears who are possibly trading their second best linebacker, they have the 2nd worst Quarterback in the NFL, and make it to the playoffs by default because other teams are worse, not that they are all that good! Heck the Vikings almost beat them TWICE last season, and the Vikes are fucking terrible.
4- Dallas... but they'd have to give up A LOT. Howard, Dampier, Terry, and 2-3 1st round pics over the next 5 years. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT????
5- Seattle They would have to trade the 2nd pick which would be Kevin Durant, Rashard Lewis, and Danny Fortson, and Ridnaur.
...........
Look more for a trade like...
Trenton Hassell, Rickey Davis, and a 1st round pick in 2011 (They owe picks to the Celtics and Clippers in the next 3 years) for Joel Prizbilla and Zach Randolph with the Trailblazers
or a trade like
Troy Hudson to the Knicks for Malik Rose
Rickey Davis, Troy Hudson and Craig Smith for Andre Kirilinko (who hates being in Utah, and is hated by Sloan).
