KG Trade

[Monster]

I will also add that there is another option of how things could have played out for Thad although with Rubio continuing to miss games probably not but maybe Thad plays well down the stretch not amazing but well and thee are a couple teams that are him as a player they want either of he opts out as a FA so he considers that or even if he opta in for 1 year a team wants him. maybe you get some decent return out of a desperate team that needs a guy like that. Not saying it's likely at all but you never know obviously the Nets valued him. KG was the asset Flip wanted so that's what he got.

Hopefully KG re-signs and gets a "wink wink" deal where he gets less in contract and gets a better deal on buying into the team when he buys into ownership.

That worked out great last time Glen made a wink wink deal

Fortunately this one would be legal.

KG hasn't played for cheap so you have to wonder what a fair number is to him.

I don't understand why the Wolves would want Garnett back.
Or, why he'd want to come back.

He's made more than $315M in his career. Is he really going to cling to an NBA dream of sitting out games for another $5M? On a bad team? With no like-minded vets with him?

Why would the Wolves pay a guy $5M who's missed 16 out of 21 games and played less than 100 minutes total for the club?

We were told the deal wasn't for this year only. We were also told Saunders wasn't going to be coach. We were also told the team isn't tanking.

I wonder if we have been lied to. Flip is about as used car salesman as there is.

Regarding the three things they told us. 1) I'm convinced this deal isn't just for this year. 2) Taylor didn't want Flip to coach, but after Joerger turned them down, there weren't any remaining candidates that were suitable, so Flip appointed himself. BTW, I talked with a member of the ownership group Tuesday morning, and he told me Glen et al think Flip is doing a good job coaching. I told him I didn't agree. 3) Flip lied. Garnett is not hurt, and is only on the bench to prevent the Wolves from winning too many meaningless games.

Flip will bring KG back next year, probably for a little more than $5 million, and KG will play 60 games...because the Wolves won't be tanking next year. The Wolves aren't paying KG next year for the guy who was asked to sit out meaningless games this year...they're paying him for the guy that played 85% of the Nets' games and then looked very good in the few games he played with the Wolves. Why does KG want to come back? Because he sees the promise of a team anchored by Rubio, Wiggins, Lavine and Towns/Okafor, and he wants to be a part of his original team's turnaround. The whole thing makes perfect sense to me.

Ugh, just so much wrong with this organization.

uh I think the whole point of calling it a "wink wink" deal is the fact that it wouldn't be legal, hence the need for the winking
