He'd be a good addition to the Spurs. Also, fuck him. I'd rather see him crumpled on the court holding his shattered knee than see him in a Spurs uniform.

1. The OP correctly labeled this as a highly unlikely hypothetical. It's funny that some people think that Boston would have to add Bradley in order to salary dump KG. They won't need to add any sweetener if they just want to get rid of him.
2. No need to add anything to the TD factor in approving KG coming to the Spurs.
3. KG has a no-trade clause in his contract. Does anyone really think he would approve a trade to become a role player on Tim Duncan's team? I know anything is possible, but some things are unlikely in the extreme.

Obviously you'd trade for him if possible. But, yeah, would never happen.
BTW ... :lol @ "KG is a much better player than TD now, he deserves a much bigger contract" ... I'm not going to point fingers but there were quite a few peeps around these parts who held that opinion not too long ago.
the only player I never wanted on the Spurs is Karl Malone. I hated his dirty, scumbag ass with a passion. If the Spurs decide to get Garnett, hopefully without gutting our lineup too much, I would be able to accept it........even if I have never been a fan of garnett and his bullshit antics.....like only stepping to the smaller players.
KG would rather retire.
If this somehow happened I would cream everywhere.
No thanks
Since it would never happen, there's really no point in playing this hypothetical.
There are many options. The one that would make the most sense for the Spurs is Jackson and Blair for Garnett.Quote:

Fk yes.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Here's something you don't get to read often: A one-on-one with Kevin Garnett, thanks to @SpearsNBAYahoo. http://tinyurl.com/amj9cfc
Talking about improbable shit, how about Garnett + spare for Old Gasol ? I think it would be a win-win for both parties, but veeeery unlikely to happen (Celtics & Lakers trading ? lol). :D
How is that a win for the Celtics?Quote:

Gasol's bad journey so far this season is because of DHo & D'Antoni problems -and Tendonosis thing doesn't make stuffs easier, all of that will go away in Boston. And while his contract is bigger, will last one less year than Garnett's one who's 4 years older.
I could see Garnett being an improvement for LA over Gasol (better defensive player, more mobile, more reliable mid-range shooter -this season at least-, appears heathier), I don't see how Gasol could make a difference for the Celtics, maybe a marginal improvement at best but that doesn't help them very much.Quote:

Basically this comes to the fact that both players play out of position in their respective teams, and the trade will amend that problem. Ofcourse, this trade is only logical if the Celts is confident that they're still competitive enough for championsip challenge, atleast, within Pierce high level of play window.Quote:

The only way Garnett ever comes to SA is if his funeral is there.
automatic nba championship
Jackson, Blair, BonnerQuote:

I believe those would really be the only combo's the spurs would conceivable use
Duncan really doesn't like him there was an article in April in SI "21 Shades of Grey" which mentions "Duncan hates Garnett, like Hanitty hates liberals"
It would be awesome to see them together though
Capable of helping Kobe win multiple championships he has been on the decline rather early these last two seasons have been rought. He also historically struggles playing Center thus the problems (Bynum then Howard) his contract is horrid and the Celtics wouldn't be better off with him over Garnett.Quote:

And, I don't know why SA would even try to get him, he is trying to retire soon, isn't he?
It would be the NBA story of the decade...two bitter rivals putting aside their differences for one last run at championship glory.
Never gonna happen, though.
