I can totally see the Spurs offering him a short-term deal to try and last a couple years, assuming they strike out in getting young talent.

[SamoanTD]

Very interesting choice I would only take him if we also got a young athletic big as well for insurance.

Man that would be awesome. Talk about a tough, vertan tested front court of TD, KG, and SJax. He'll stay in Boston though.

[Bruno]

The only way is will leave Boston is if Celtics decides to blow their team off and start to rebuild their team. In that case, there is the whole Duncan/Garnett hate relationship that will make it harder for SA to get him.

Aside of that, Garnett would be a terrific addition.

Not to mention the whole Garnett/Peter Holt hate thing.

Obviously a longshot but I'd love to have him on the team. Almost a perfect fit imo.

[blkroadrunners]

If Garnett and Duncan & the Spurs staff can work out their differences, I'd love to have him on board and he'd be a terrific fit.

Easier said than done though. His demeanor completely contrasts what the SA organization implement.

It's cool to have a good team but u need 2-3 crazy people like Jackson.

This. He would fit like Jack fits. He works hard, busts his ass, and is super-intense, and pretty much everyone not named Wally Szcerbiak has loved having him as a teammate.

I'm deeply skeptical that we could get him, but man would that be a murderer's row of over-the-hill dudes.

[Mr Bones]

Probably my least favorite star in the NBA. I'm so tired of hearing about how his "intensity" is essential to winning. Kareem didn't act like Garnett and won 6 les, Hakeem didn't act like him and won 2 les, Duncan doesn't act like him, and won 4, etc., etc... Garnett has one. Talented player, no doubt, but I'd hate to see someone who behaves like a classless moron tarnish the Spurs. Duncan dislikes him for a reason... and I trust Duncan on this one.

Celtics to re-sign forward Kevin Garnett to a three-year, $34 million deal, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

It gives an idea about what Duncan should/could get.

2 years/23 million or the same amount as KG gets should be good.

Bruno if Tim signs a deal like this, do you think the third year would be something like a team or player option? Maybe even something with guaranteed money on that final year?

[Mel_13]

Now people can give up two fantasies:

1. KG to San Antonio.

2. TD signing an MLE sized deal.

If there is a third year in Duncan's new contract, it will likely be a player option.

[CGD]

Set the market for TD. I love TD but I hope his deal doesn't include a 3rd year.

[Andthentherewas21]

Now people can give up two fantasies:

But it gives rise to the "Trade Tiago, Neal, Bonner, Blair, and every other unwanted Spurs player" for KG fantasy
