OFFICIAL: Thad Young for Kevin Garnett

[Mattya]

So KG was brought in to help the team develop a winning mentality, and could easily play Monday (and probably yesterday), but were holding him out so he'll get a bigger reaction debuting in Minnesota and you don't find that hypocritical at all?

He will also get extra practice time, but you will probably ignore that.

Sounds to me like you are just trying to find another topic to take the most extreme irrational point of view for no reason at all.

he's played 19 seasons, does he really need an extra day or two of practice?

is this serious?

...uh yes? He's coming in and playing 10-20 minutes a game for like 30 games. So like 300-600 minutes total, or the equivalent of a 35 minute guy playing a 8-16 game stretch.

Dude, stop your trolling. We are all tired of it.

And, yes, you are trolling.

Don't feed the troll!

Wolves have their first, Bjelica, their 2nd and Sacramento's 2nd. Throw on another late first and it's time to trade for someone. I'm not sure who that someone is. But KG is worth a lot to develop our youth, and we've got the big asset (our first) coming still.

I agree, we have already to many youngsters To develop. And we can give the next step with a 3° star.

But at same time...
I don't know who that someone is either.

Just a few ideas for a package around our pick + whatever.

(only Rubio and Wiggins are untradble imo)

D.Cousins
D.Favors
K.Love (lol)
M.Gasol (s&t with Memphis)
A.Drummond
K.Leonard
J.Butler

[Killboard]

I'm very happy of this trade. Basically what flip did was trade

klove+mba mouthe+shved
for
wiggins+garnett+ab+ try to compete with thad young season

Thats a great return. Even in basketball level the team will be more competitive even if is 20min a game. Its a lot better than love and brewer to combine with ricky, martin and pek. But even more important would be great to all the youngs to have KG in the locker room.

We have a shot to make a identity turn here and develop a culture where defense matters and winning is worth blood, pain and tears. And I like the personality of our young core.
Rubio is a low ego - team guy - ubber pro who is dreaming since 14 to be the best in this sport. Wiggins is a lot like kg, no brightly things, low profile off the court and seems ready to listen older guys. gorgui is a hard worker by all means and payne seems a guy who has fought bad things in his life to be where he is now. Pek is a low ego player as Martin, they are not crazy guys and has their minds in the right set and Bazz has worked hard as anyone to get better in the offseason.
Bennet and lavine are different cases, they seem to be lazy at times, but have a player like kg showing how do things on and off the court, the fire he brings every game, is precious for them.
Is A lot better identity model than the last ten years.

You wanna talk about player impact? Thaddeus Young doesn't do this for the organization.

I'm loving this and I'm a knick fan who followed KG in his young days...

[Varejao17]

Can't wait to see what Kevin Garnett have to say, a short twitter msg would make me very happy!

[Nitroglycerin]

Why havent we heard from him anyway? Or will he give a speech on Wednesday?

Media availability on Tuesday, most likely

[Vindicater]

Obviously it does. Fans want to see him back wearing the Wolves jersey at Target Center, not somewhere else.

You are the worst poster on this board.

[King Malta]

Can everyone stop feeding troll81?

[urinesane]

For those that would like to banish the troll without the intervention of a mod needed, simply click on his username and choose "add foe".

It has really made the forums less crappy having his posts ignored.

[T-wOlvEs 420]

3 days!

And, yes, you are trolling.

Finally nice to see a mod call this out for what it is...

[Devilzsidewalk]

I like guest81. He's got spunk. You can't teach spunk.

[Paradise]

Anybody know why it's going to take until Wednesday for KG to play?

It mostly has to do with moving his wife and little daughters from Manhattan. KG made it known he doesn't like moving his family around and this was his first midseason trade of his career.

[GopherIt!]

Forgot his name, but who was that tweaker Wolves poster we had a couple years ago? The spastic guy who was tripping out on his post count.
