Kevin Garnett in town!

[Isai659]

Can anyone tell me why Kevin Garnett was in town for the past two days? I have a friend that works at the Grand Hyatt and was shocked to see KG here in the offseason by himself

[slick'81]

we stacked

[Rapper]

biggest news in the offseason!!!!!!

Duncan plays alongside KG??? damn,, our fifth championship is coming ~~~

[I. Hustle]

That's dumb. They can't start talking until the first. He was probably just here for barbacoa and fat sluts.

[Twisted_Dawg]

Can Duncan and KG play on the floor at the same time?

[racm]

This is like when Jason Kidd was in SA in 2003 right?

[intlspurshk]

Best shot to title? Why not Chicago or OKC or Miami? Why SA? Doesn't make sense unless TD take min and KG take the rest

[Wild Cobra Kai]

That's dumb. They can't start talking until the first. He was probably just here for barbacoa and fat sluts.

[Russo21]

What's your source to say KG is/was in town?

Maybe Timmy called him up to sort out their differences and persuade him to not retire, never know. Personally i've never liked Garnett but the fucka is just what this team needs, not long removed from being Defensive Player of the Year.

Can't believe i'm saying this but i'd love KG on the Spurs. Never thought i'd say that geez. If we want to make one more run then go for him with all you have.

[Russo21]

Let's open up an old folks home while we're at it and sign Jason Kidd as backup PG and Ray Allen as backup SG

[Obstructed_View]

I guess KG doesn't read Sports Illustrated.

[bus driver]

i work at a mexican restaurant on the RW and he came in to eat. i asked if he was on the bus and he said no. he said boston had shitty mexican food.

[TXstbobcat]

Maybe he is just in San Antonio on vacation.

[Beanzamillion21]

That's dumb. They can't start talking until the first. He was probably just here for barbacoa and fat sluts.

[urunobili]

trying to come to terms with TD on a personal level before the 1st?

[~Sweetmelody~]

Hmm....Should I tell hubby? Get his hopes up? This has been his dream for YEARS!! lol

[dbestpro]

Maybe he's trying to recruit Duncan to play in Boston.:wow

[silverblackfan]

Maybe he's trying to recruit Duncan to play in Boston.:wow

There you have it. :lol

[Viva Las Espuelas]

They can't start talking until the first.
But can they pass notes?

[CGD]

I wish there was a way to actually confirm this other than through your "friend" but alas the nature of internet forums. Tell your "friend" to take a picture next time so you can post it.

[Agloco]

KG does have a good jumper......

lol at the OP though. This is BS.

[JRHernandez88]

Man this better not be a joke! Pics or I call bs.

[SenorSpur]

Maybe he and Tim are having a bonding session at Dave and Busters?

[SamoanTD]

I just jizzed. Still very far fetched but if this is true nvm don't wanna jinx it.

This should clear up any confusion - KG and Dooling 100% in town - SPFM, LP is parent company of Gametyme - and have other partners/products supplied to NBA - but Gametyme is specifically why they are here

This is the reason KG is here and Dooling as well - see thread titled as a simple period (.) will also help shed info You can also check out gametyme.com

SPFM, LP is in San Antonio and while not the Parent company to Gametyme they are a principle partner is Gametyme's "Big Assist" program

Ok what the hell is that ?

[Budkin]

Searching the Twitters, apparently he was spotted at a club.

I knew it was to good to be true...

[bigfan]

We dont need any more oldsters anyway; move along...

[JRHernandez88]

You serious? KG is exactly what we need.

[ace3g]

We dont need any more oldsters anyway; move along...

He might be old, but he shows up in big games (technically played out of position this year 5 instead of the 4), moves well around the perimeter, sets screens, good jumper, and plays defense.

I'm not usually on board with these type of additions but KG is exactly what the Spurs need at this point in the career's of the big 3.

Of course not getting my hopes up.

He'd have to get over himself before Pop would play him.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Define kinship...

[dbestpro]

Nice to dream about an end of game lineup with Duncan, Garnett, Jackson, Ginobili, and Parker.

[timvp]

Signing Garnett would be awesome as he's probably the one of like five players in the entire league who could possibly make the Spurs an elite defensive team. On top of that, his offensive game fits right in.

Pipe dream, though, unfortunately.

Ride into the sunset lineup - but it could work

[Two10Whitey]

Some people were telling me they talked to him at Area 31 (nightclub) last night and KG told them he has a place in SA and comes here for the summer now. Weird if true.

[thOOdee]

not the biggest kg fan, but tons of respect for the passion he brings when playing. imagine him and JACK together....shit load of fire.

A pipe dream worth dreaming. Stranger things have happened. I think if it were possible both he and Tim for the sake of an added ring and a chance to derail miami could play together. Time heals all wounds though Garnett really violated duncan and maybe this is the exception. The bigger question is what matters to Garnett at this point. If he desires one more ring SA reallistically is his safest bet. Ok back to reality...:depressed

[Buddy Holly]

But he's staying at hotels?

[Budkin]

There's no way he could meet with any Spurs player without someone finding out.

[Buddy Holly]

Not true. Five people know where Duncan lives, so Garnett getting driven to Tim's house wouldn't get reported. I doubt that's happened but if it no one would know.

[Fabbs]

Can Duncan and KG play on the floor at the same time?
Poop will find a way to make it not happen!

[Thompson]

That's dumb. They can't start officially talking until the first. Individual Spurs can make a sales pitch, so long as they keep it quiet.

Fixed. And I despise Garnett, but he'd probably help us get another ring.

[Legacy]

I just jizzed. Still very far fetched but if this is true nvm don't wanna jinx it.

:lol

[BatManu20]

This isn't happening. Pipe dream.

[racm]

Pipe dream tbh but I wouldn't mind

[spurs10]

Please pass me that pipe!

[Budkin]

Pop will make it happen!

[TampaDude]

Duncan and Garnett, two rival old-timers, putting aside their animosity and joining forces for one last run at championship glory.

NBA story of the year, tbh. :hat

[Thomas82]

Pop will make it happen!

I believe we have a better chance of moving into the lottery than getting KG in black & silver.

[BatManu20]

Keep dreaming, kids.

[sehui]

KG and Keyon Dooling are only here for some Celtic fundraising event.

[stxspurs]

our luck we would end up with dooling

Celtic fundraising event... in SA?

This thread is interesting as it comes a day or so after I heard from my source that Garnett could be headed to the Spurs in a trade package that includes sending Dejuan Blair and Tiago Splitter. :wow

That's right......free agents can't be traded. Isn't KG an unrestricted free agent?

[xellos88330]

KG can not be traded right now.

Is it possible with a S&T?

Not trying to add fuel to the fire, but I don't know FO business at all. :toast

Well Pop was out to dinner with a group of guys tonight, but KG wasn't among them.

Only a coward hides behind his source. Your source sounds like a quack who doesn't understand how free agency works.

Can't a player visit SA without some clueless shit thinking he's there to sign with the Spurs.

[jimo2305]

they must've been talking about KG!! :wow

[Cant_Be_Faded]

It always strikes me as hilarious how the Ellis Crew always post intimating inside knowledge that is never shared on here proactively.

I get you gots to protect your sources, but give us some pre emptive tidbits at least once

[alamo50]

How can anybody even suggest KG wearing the proud silver and black??!? GTFO!

[Isai659]

I personally never liked the guy but I respect his passion for the game. He hustles in every play and I know he would definitely help the Spurs defense!

[Kidd K]

Yes. Garnett was primarily a 15-20 ft jumpshooter last season. If the Spurs sign Garnett I think that means they probably won't resign Diaw. Quite Honestly, at this point the Spurs give Garnett the best shot of winning a title. He probably hates Lebron 100X more than Duncan.

And after all these years of rivalry it would be ironic for them to win a Championship together.

Garnett showed last year he still has a bit left as well as Duncan. Backup them up with Lorbek and Splitter, the Spurs would be have a very formidable frontcourt for at least the next two years.

I don't see why they wouldn't get both if KG wanted to come here. Our frontcourt depth is garbage anyway, plus Duncan and KG don't exactly play 30+ minutes al the time anymore either. Duncan: 25-28 mins. KG: 25-28 mins. Diaw: 20-23 mins. Splitter: 15-18 mins. Blair/Bonner/scrubs: 10-20 mins. Less minutes for Blair and/or the scrubs when we need the better guys to stay on the floor longer.

And yes, that equates to 96 minutes (48 mins x the two "big man spots = 96).

So I don't see why that wouldn't work. . . at all. Sure as hell beats playing Bonner for 15-20 mins or trying to hide Blair somewhere on defense for too long while we try to benefit from his good rebounding and scoring.

[Kidd K]

Is that a trick question?

Fifth title. Why else? Our team clearly won't get it done as is due to refs. We need someone like KG to put someone in the fuckin dirt to make up for the inevitable biased officiating in the playoffs for league-preferred teams we play next season.

[jimo2305]

it's fun reading the thoughts in this thread 6 years ago

KG will end up in LA. book it.

[ploto]

Is it possible with a S&T?


That is eventually possible but no one from the Spurs FO could even be talking to him about that yet.

[ploto]

He would not be having dinner with a player from another team who is about to be a free agent.

[gameFACE]

On paper it looks good. But this would be an even older version of the Olojuwon, Barkley, Drexler Rockets team. Silver and Black with the emphasis on "silver".

[Poolboy5623]

Nothing to get excited over:sleep ... Even if it were true, Poppovich wouldnt play them(Tim/KG) together!
