If the Spurs could acquire Garnett..

[Obstructed_View]

He'd be a good addition to the Spurs. Also, 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.

[armynick23]

But KG has a contract worth about what resigning Jack AND Tiago would probably cost next summer. So put a little more talent on the Boston side of the trade proposed, while giving them even more cap relief...

KG + Avery Bradley + Fab Melo for Jackson + Splitter + Neal + Picks/Rights

Then dump Blair for a pick and sign Gelabale.

I know, pipe dream, but if Cetics want to go into rebuilding mode...

I think this is the best idea, I have heard all year..............

[timvp]

Obviously you'd trade for him if possible. But, yeah, would never happen.

BTW ... @ "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.

[Biggems]

the only player I never wanted on the Spurs is Karl Malone. I hated his dirty, s bag 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 bull antics.....like only stepping to the smaller players.

[Libri]

KG would rather retire.

[Bill_Brasky]

If this somehow happened I would cream everywhere.

[Brunodf]

No thanks

[SenorSpur]

Since it would never happen, there's really no point in playing this hypothetical.

[DAF86]

What's your package to acquire him?

There are many options. The one that would make the most sense for the Spurs is Jackson and Blair for Garnett.

I doubt the Celtics are ready to throw the towel though.

P/S: In a scale from 1 to 10 how much would Duncan hate to trade Jackson for Garnett?

[JRHernandez88]

Fk yes.

Talking about improbable , 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).

How is that a win for the Celtics?

How is that a win for the Celtics?

- Younger
- Better post player & good all around game
- Capable of carrying Kobe to multiple championships, that has to count bigtime !

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.

Yeah, the health angle makes thing a bit better on LA side, but IMHO, Gasol offensive game in the post & its reliability are much better compared to Garnett, and also his post defense is better. 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 compe ive enough for championsip challenge, atleast, within Pierce high level of play window.

[therealtruth]

The reason the Lakers won in '10 was because Gasol outplayed Garnett. You have to give Phil Jackson credit. He had Gasol playing as the best bigman in basketball for a 2-3 year period.

The only way Garnett ever comes to SA is if his funeral is there.

automatic nba championship

[cd021]

What's your package to acquire him?

And does Tim really not like him?

Jackson, Blair, Bonner
or
Diaw, Splitter, Bonner

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.

[Budkin]

Didn't we already debate this to death over the summer. It will NEVER happen.

[DapDaGenius]

And does Tim really not like him?

Yeah, Tim really does not like him, just look up some stuff on google about it.

And, I don't know why SA would even try to get him, he is trying to retire soon, isn't he?

[TampaDude]

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.
