Nowadays Manu and Tony altoghether are way more important than Timmy alone for the spurs. Trade them and you got no serious ballhandlers. Matching mega superstars don't work. Look what happened to the twin towers.
1. If he can reduce salary,
2. If the trade doesn't involve any of Tim, Manu, Tony or Bruce,
then we should get him.
But the Timblworves won't do.

Call me stupid, but I'd never want to break up TD, TP, and Manu. They have 2 les in the 3 years they've been together, and they don't look to be slowing up at all. I think I'd rather cheer for these guys than anyone else in the league. I wouldn't trade Tim for LeBron, I'd never consider Man + TP for Kobe, and I'd sure as hate Manu+TP for KG. I can't imagine cheering for anyone else.
without them(td-manu-tp-) you are suck!
uhhh....Garnett makes 20 mil a year and is under contract through '09. He's not going anywhere.
ESPN is reporting that KG is headed for Dallas or the Lakers.
For what it's worth, the Wolves owner says he's not gonna trade KG:

MINNEAPOLIS - While Kevin Garnett appears to be growing increasingly impatient with the direction of the Minnesota Timberwolves, owner Glen Taylor says he can't envision a scenario where he would trade the team's only star.
"I do not see that as a possibility," Taylor said Wednesday night before the Timberwolves played the Orlando Magic. "As I stand here, I just don't see a possibility that makes sense."
Speculation about Garnett's future, much of it completely baseless, has swirled for most of the season.
The former MVP has spent his entire 11 seasons in Minnesota and never once has asked for a trade or even hinted at wanting to leave the only organization he's known.
But the rumors ramped up again this week after Garnett spoke out Sunday following a close win over the New York Knicks. He said after that game that he didn't want to go through another "rebuilding" season.
However, he also said he had faith in Taylor to make the right moves in the offseason to turn around a team that will almost assuredly miss the playoffs for a second straight year after making the Western Conference finals in 2004.
"I don't want to go through this any more," Garnett said. "I think I'm more deserving of a better team and I think the city's more deserving of a better team, coming in here having something that's going to be compe ive and having us getting back to the Western Conference finals.
"But I do know you just can't blink and it's going to happen; you have to actually spend the time and effort. So, we'll see."
In the days that have followed, Garnett's coach and teammates have said the team's unquestioned leader was merely conveying the frustration they all felt.
And on Wednesday night, Taylor said he wasn't surprised by Garnett's comments, and that he has made similar statements to the owner in private conversations this year.
"He is very, very compe ive and wants to win," Taylor said.
One of the things that has hindered Taylor from assembling the cast to support Garnett is the superstar's huge contract. Garnett makes $18 million this season, eating up a sizable chunk of the salary cap.
"It makes it difficult, but no more difficult than it has been in the past," Taylor said. "It won't make it impossible."
Taylor has decided to swallow hard and spend more money in the past, getting veterans Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell two years ago. It worked the first year, when they helped Garnett win the MVP award and the Timberwolves had the best record in the West during the regular season.
But things started falling apart last year, and the team missed the playoffs for the first time since 1995-96.
The going has been even tougher this season. The Timberwolves entered the night at 29-41 and have been unable to jell after a major midseason trade with Boston that brought four new players -- Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Marcus Banks and Justin Reed -- here and sent Wally Szczerbiak and Michael Olowokandi to the Celtics.
With Garnett turning 30 in May, he isn't getting any younger. And he made it clear on Sunday that he wants things to change.
And Taylor said he welcomes Garnett's ideas.
"I have always valued his input," Taylor said. "He has not surprised me with any of his comments."
If Jim says it, then he's a Wolve for life, guaranteed.
I swear that is what was reported yesterday on ESPN radio.
I just report the news, I do not make the news.
It makes perfect sense, if you think about it.
most here dont understand that with both Kevin and Tim making max salaries they would be taking up 1/2 of the cap room. There is no money left to put quality players around the two so no championships
I'd never trade 2 allstar spurs players for one, whatever the names.
And Timmy I wouldn't trade for the starting 5 of the Pistons or any other team.
I would like to see KG and TD together, but I would want to hold onto TP. I might be ok with letting Manu go. You can't duplicate a Manu, but you can someone that plays his position and be almost as good, which would be ok because you have TD, KG, and TP still. SA would kill Pop and RC, but hey you will get a few more rings out of it. LOL
Why would anyone want to trade for a used up Garnett?
Personally, I just don't see it.
Who are the top two teams in the NBA? Detroit and Spurs.
How many superstars do you count among them? 1 and he's not even a healthy superstar.
It's all about chemistry and understanding roles. Not about how many superstars you have on a team.
Jim shouldn't inhale so much nitrous when no one's around.
But since we have a "wish list" going.
Could we please have AK47 in a Spurs uniform?
No,no,no and no.Spurs really dont need KG if there is Duncan.
GO SPURS GO
AK47 in a Spurs uni would be sweet, but why would Utah trade away their one true stud? Or, said another way, who would the Spurs have to give to get him? Prolly the aforementioned TP & MG combo. No thanks.
He's also locked up through at least 2011, makes $12M next year escalating to close to $18M by 2011.
