To be fair, A LOT of athletes are dinks. Some are more obvious with it on the court than others. When Garnett was here, he gave a legit effort and carved out a HOF career.
Since I don't know Garnett at all, I can't compare him as a person to any other player. So I choose to judge him as a player.
And he's easily the best player in Wolves history.
[note: that doesn't mean i think this is a good trade or anything. it's a way to symbolically tank, i guess.]

It makes sense to buy out Neal and sign another big off the street.

Can't argue with that. But I have a brain and two eyes, so I don't mind evaluating him as a person as well as a player.

Bring back Darko
There are not enough bananas in United States to make him a good player.

Go ahead and be emotional about it. It's what makes some fans so loyal.
I take a more pragmatic approach, I think that's why our discussions are so entertaining/annoying/frustrating. I've seen far too many "role models" be exposed as frauds in sports and other highly visible occupations to ever make a claim that I know what they're like behind closed doors.

It obviously has to be Rasho, or Ervin Johnson if he's still alive

Apparently, that makes me stupid... ahem, ahem.
I'm not emotional about it and I'm not calling you stupid. I just prefer to call a duck a duck. Kind of like the huge segment of the populace who don't believe David Ortiz ever did PED's because he never tested positive. If you have a brain you should know.
I'm happy to have KG back in the fold . He'll bring true veteran leadership to a young squad that has zero proven winners on it. Other than that it's not an earth shattering move and shouldn't be treated as such.
