Look at #9 Kevin Garnett Watch on the link above
There have been rumors but it's not happening.

[tomahawks11]

that almost scared me.... id be extremely upset if he got traded in the near future

Before the Pistons won the Championship, who could name more than one Piston? Not many. Everybody knew them as "that guy with the afro" and "that guy with the face shield". They were no-name guys who he taught to play together. That's why KG will not end up in NY while Larry Brown is there.
Richard Hamilton was never "the guy with the face shield" I believe he started wearing it in the 2004 playoffs when he broke his nose. Same thing with Lebron and his face shield. Rasheed Wallace and Richard Hamilton were acquired and weren't no name guys. Larry is a great coach but it's not like he took complete trash and made a championship team. It would be possible. Garnett would have to stage a Vince Carter whining, refusing to play(Which would be uncharacteristic for him). The only thing the Wolves would want would be Stephon Marbury which the Knicks aren't giving up

Sheed was recognizable before the Pistons.

Rasheed wallace was not a household name yeah right he has been one of the nba's top players for years he may not be an elete player but he has been one of the top rebounders in the leauge he also was know for being the ron artest of the 90's and early 2000's, also rip doesnt need to wear the sheild anymore he just "likes the feel of it" so he wears it at least thats what i heard

[ghs/wylax]

i knew rip:when he was on thw wizards...

The reason the T-wolves are winning is solely because of KG...there's no way they would want to trade him, unless they wanted to lose. The Knicks would have to be throwing a ton of money at them for him.

However, there's no way Larry Brown wants KG. He is a superstar and, having personally watched Larry Brown build a team from nothing into World Champions, he would rather have a bunch of non-superstars who can play together than a guy who takes it upon himself to put up 30 points a game.

KG is the most unselfish player in the league, but he is far from the most talented. Put a Dwight Howard or Brad Miller in Minnesota instead of Garnett and they'll put up comparable numbers. All the players on the team are designed to support one superstar, and that's not how the Knicks and Larry Brown work. Why do you think Al Harrington is averaging 18/9? He's not all that good, its just the team has no other options.

You must not watch basketball or understand it much. The reason why the T-wolves would want to trade KG is because they don't feel like he is getting anything done for them. For his whole career he has been there i don't think they have won a title. Except in his earlier career there. They would rather get rid of him and rebuild the team so they can win in the finals.

He's talking about the common person not knowing. Obviously people like you and I would know.

Allen Iverson, what about him, he scores thirty points a game and played for larry brown.

[laxfolife24]

if he did get traded the Knicks would be sick!

[fitzy_nb_11]

Tomahawks don't listen to kids at school just because thye hear something on sports center doesn't mean it's true.. If all the rumours Ive heard about the leafs cam true then I would be a very happy kid as my team would be killing everyone lol

[laxer41]

Im from Minnesota, so hear me out here... I've been watching KG for almost 10 years in Minnesota, and all this crap about how he isnt even a very talented player is unbelievable. Kevin Garnett is 7 foot 2 and can run like a guard, shoot like a guard, dribble like a small forward, and post up like a center. Not only that, he is the hardest working player in the league and deservedly the former MVP. KG and Tim Duncan are the top 2 players in the league. He is also making a CRAPLOAD of money in MN, like half our salary is to him. Other players (cassell, Spreewell) took cuts to make the team go far. No team will be able to pay his salary. He is staying in Minnesota, where he belongs :)

[LaxGoalie28]

Did he score 30 points a game when he played for Larry Brown? That's all I have to say.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/stats?statsId=3094

Ya, actually i think he did. When he brought the sixers to the championship.\
Look at 0-1 up to i think 0-4. That's thirty points a game

kind of like herb brooks in miracle

Yeah, you're right. I don't understand basketball at all. Do teams routinely get rid of one of the top 5 players in the league to rebuild and win championships? NO! He's not a T.O. How often do you see him on TV running his mouth? Never! Guys love playing with him. The Wolves pay him so much that they have trouble getting him a supporting cast that can win. He's not going anywhere. The people of Minnesota love him and he loves them back. Trust me, if he hated in in Minnesota, he would be running his mouth and making the people there hate him so the front office would want to trade him.

Don't take personal shots at me because I'm not sure you want to start that little battle.

Yea.. it's still a possibility that they will trade him. Trust me. Why don't you tell me, why havent the T-wolves won at all recently? Isn't KG one of the top 5 players in the league? You see, basketball is a team game, not a one man game, sure, KG is definately a force, and he's very talented, but he alone cannot win it and the T-wolves have been trading other players to work w/ KG but it does'nt seem to be working, KG would be better off on another team and would have a better shot at winning a title than staying in Minnesota.

Kevin Garnett is 7 foot 2

As soon as I read that I stopped reading your comment. Minnesotans know how tall KG is.

[NY Lax 4]

KG is 7'0". 7'2 is a reach. Minnesota has no intention of trading him.
