Kevin Garnett and the Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a new deal. Terms of the deal are not yet known.

Garnett returned to the Wolves in February in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets for Thaddeus Young.

"I'm incredibly excited and rejuvenated to be a part of this talented, committed team," said Garnett.

This is epic for Towns & all the other fresh blood on that team. Getting your game mentality from Garnett is priceless, hopefully they get it and play hard night in/out.

For those who don't understand KG,
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2421236-a-man-in-full-the-many-sides-of-kevin-garnett-the-player-who-changed-the-nba

One of the best reads in a long time.

The young guys in Sota are lucky he's there. There are some things you just can't teach players, KG had all those things.

"

"He had that right from the beginning—he was always extremely intense," says Saunders, Garnett's coach for his first 10 seasons.

"Every day," says former teammate Sam Mitchell. "Practice or game, you could not tell the difference."

Our first practice was at my high school…and I'm watching him run up and down the court, block everybody's shot, yelling, shooting threes, coming down, pushing the ball full court. I was like, man, I ain't never seen nothing like this before. And then all of a sudden, the gym was all filled up and everybody was in there watching him. ... Every time he blocked a shot, he screamed to the top of his lungs, or dunked and he's yelling as loud as he could. I was just looking like, "Man, this dude is intense." If you didn't match his intensity, then he didn't want you out there."

I am so happy he's with Minnesota again. How huge is it for the identity of that franchise for their best player ever to be there mentoring and leading their new young team? He is the Timberwolves and all these young guys, who probably watched him growing up, get to experience him up close and personal and teach them what it is to play for that franchise. Towns is one lucky guy if you ask me, he needs to pick up everything he can from him.

This is great for the Wolves.

I'd actually be interested in watching some of the T-Wolves' training camp and practices just to see how KG is around the young guys. Probably scares the living **** out of them.

21st season for KG. Going to equal Chief Rob Parish' record.

22 seasons! DAMN! That's long career! He'll be ending the contract at 41, which is damn impressive considering he started in the NBA at 19, right out of high school.

He's one of the hardest workers in the NBA. It'll teach the other guys to work hard

Don't forget Kevin Willis too. Seems like he played for eternity.

Ticket sales. All about the money. Basically he's going to get paid to yell at some talented ass kids and slap them around when their not on the best behaviour.
