Why exactly does Minnesota do this?
Ok, for the record, I'm not buying into it...but it's hard not to at least ponder it when so many people are mentioning it.
Here's the deal:
Apparently, there are "rumors" that there is a deal being worked on to bring KG to Det. for Sheed,Darko and a 3rd player.
The Flip connection has been mentioned in regards to KG, and towards Billups (used to play in Minn.) And that KG wanted Billups to stay.
supposedly 2 local AM sports talk stations have picked up on it, but not too vocally yet. However, the "word" is that this deal is "85%" done..........
The ESPN Minn boards was also talking about it:

Obviously, this would be huge for us........should make us instant favorites........
........but............this rumor comes up every year for every team practically.
My question is, have you heard anything about this? And are you buying into it?

Why exactly does Minnesota do this?
the wolves would be crazy to get rid of KG
Rebuilding. Spree is done...yet hard to trade......Cassell is what 35? 36? injury prone??
The 3rd player to be traded could be Arroyo? Delfino? Sheed and Arroyo would be 2 new starters. Cassell could come off the bench.
I could imagine some $$ being thrown into to sweeten it. Or possibly a 1st round pick.
I could also see wally or some other contract thrown in to help w/ the cap #'s
Or a 3rd team could get involved. New York gettin' Sheed? Who knows....like I said, I don't buy it.....but it's interesting to think about. We'll see in the next week if anything comes out of it I guess.
Hadn't you post this dream of yours before?
????
Hadn't you post this dream of yours before?
Nope.......not my dream. Just something that has been discussed alot today. Don't know what else you could be refering to.
This isn't the first time you've made me laugh by this..
you have posted this before somewhere in the forums..
Like I said before, it'll never happen.
It wouldn't shock me too much if it happened. I think Minnesota have to be realistic about their chances this season. If the Lakers improve then it's going to be really hard for the Timberwolves to make the playoffs. So they may be considering rebuilding.
Trading Garnett should free some cap space, and as good as Garnett is, I think Minnesota can do better with, say, Rasheed and Arroyo or Delfino.
I'm not buying into it totally yet, just saying that I don't think it's impossible.
So you rebuild by trading for an older Wallace.Rebuilding.
Diabolical.
Why not just wait til next summer when you have room to sign a max free agent?Yet easier to simply let go as a free agent this summer.Spree is done...yet hard to trade.Off the books after this season????Cassell is what 35? 36? injury prone??
the guy is just posting what the radio shows are saying in detroit, lay off the guy.
but it would be a very stupid trade for minny.
This is ridiculous. No way would Minnesota do that trade. You just don't trade your franchise player without getting alot back. They would want Ben Wallace or Billups at least.
where is spursdaone? he would love this trade.
Minnesota wouldn't give him up that easily, they would either require more young talent or a lot of draft picks, this trade doesn't make sense otherwise...
Build a championship team around a guy that wants no part of leading a team and another guy whose played all of zero first, second, and third quarter minutes his entire career, and only plays fourth quarter minutes in blowouts?
Yo, Pistons troll, you posted this last month.
It wasn't gonna happen then, it's not going to happen now.
not gonna happen, sorry!
This is a franchise player...2nd best power forward in the league ATM, and he's younger than Rasheed...
Who in the would want to do that trade?
I've been in Minnesota...those guys loved 2 guys back then...
KG and Randy Moss...
Moss is gone...
KG is not leaving.
If it did happen, then we'd still beat them in the finals if we resign big dog
Hadn't you post this dream of yours before?As I mentioned before, I have never posted on this topic before. What I believe you
Yo, Pistons troll, you posted this last month.

I find it interesting that it's basically the same "rumor" from then. Perhaps there has been some working on this.
And again, I am not the one proposing this trade...I in fact said that I'm not buying it.
I find it interesting that all of you Detroit fans don't understand jack about the salary cap.
Minnesota does such a deal to blow it all up and start rebuilding. KG's contract has proven to be far too much for one player not named Shaq in today's NBA. KG is not of the class of a Shaq or Duncan, guys who guarantee you at least a conference semi-final playoff appearance every year. Minnesota's one lone playoff run came when Cassell and Sprewell still had something in the tank. KG can put up stats all day long but he seems to fall in the Vince Carter class of players who can play great and still not carry a team.
I seem to recall Tim's teamates doing just as much if not more than Tim in the finals.
Season after season after season Tim Duncan has managed to carry his team past a first round opponent and on to the conference semi-finals, if not conference finals, if not NBA Finals.
Kevin Garnett is not in the same class of player as Tim Duncan, Wolves fan.
Just reminding you, Tim wasn't even the spurs MVP of ANY win in the finals against the pistons except for game seven.
As it stands now, two rings were with a HOF center and one was with a guy who arguabley deserved the finals MVP also.
Wake me up when KG gets to play with either of those types of players.
