Gotta be retiring right? Shame to see KG go out. They don't make em like they used to.

Maybe retiring. Maybe going to Boston or LAC. He and pierce I think want to retire together and go into the Hall together. Will be interesting.

Can't imagine he wants out of Minnie to play elsewhere. Man would I kill to see him back here...he'd like this team a lot and LOVE Crowder and Smart especially.

I don't think KG is coming back to Boston. If they agree on a buyout, it's more likely he holds some sort of front office or consulting position with the T-Wolves. He's also expressed his desire to become an owner of the team.

Pierce retiring as a Celtic is a done deal once he officially tells the Clippers.

KG, Pierce, Duncan, and Kobe in the same HOF class would be something.

If Garnett was just retiring, why would they need to buy him out?

Kind of a weird move by KG to ask for money if he is retiring. Perhaps he wants to sign a 1-day deal with the Celtics as a big FU to Glen Taylor. Can't imagine that KG is too happy about Taylor not letting him buy into the ownership group. Probably not too happy about Sam Mitchell not being kept around either.

If he retires, he gives up the $8m.

Rather than him ride the bench for a year to get his money, he takes like 5-6m.

Wolves save money, he gets to be paid to kick it in Malibu.

He's not asking for money. They owe him 8m.

Who gives up 8m?

I would bring him in just to see him Mentor Smart,Crowder and Bradley. I mean, just imagine it. Especially with the first two, he would love those guys.


Edit: Not that he wouldn't love Bradley, he already does :lol:

if he isn't retiring then it's Boston or the Clippers. Doc/Pierce/and being in LA living at home is enough to convince KG of 1 more stop as veteran depth ala Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson. It's possible. Or a return to Boston? I just can't see him outright coming to Boston alone, though. It would be too different without Doc, Pierce, Rondo....I can't see it happening unless there was some sort of prearranged deal with Pierce coming back. Or maybe they both sign 1 day contracts with Boston and retire. IDK

Think Danny would want him? Id love the influence he brings but, our roster is TIGHT right now and Danny isn't nostalgic and might not want to toss a youngster to the side to bring in a vet leader.
