Crazy Amnesty scenario

Orlando trades Dwight Howard, Arenas, and Turk to Boston for KG, Allen, and "asset".
Rayray agrees to a cheap buy out because he wants to join a contender (team X). KG is amnestied. And Orlando signs some young free agents (ala Nene, Deandre Jordon, Aflallo, etc) and ends up with a reasonably good young team.

How much would you pay for KG?
And who would you Amnesty/trade to get him?

As much as it takes.

So teams can trade for players and amnesty them?

This was/is being discussed on the CBA thread. I don't think it is really known yet. I have read that the amnestied player has to be on the current roster but I guess the CBA wording may not actually say that.

But yes, 100% behind any and all effort to bring KG back.

Other than to see KG back in a T-Wolves' jersey again, there is no reason to support this. Sure, it might make a good career story, but Garnett does not fit our system anymore, not to even mention our gluttony at powerforward (unless you want to slide him to C, but I wouldn't advise that considering his strength).

How so?

Because he wins and plays defense...

We're talking about KG vs Darko as a defensive stopper in the middle. I have to think KG wins that match up even to someone who is skeptical about him playing center. And Adelman loves passing bigs on offense, which KG certainly is.

The mere mention of KG in a Wolves uni again sends shivers up my damned spine.

:cheesygrin:

i'd jump all over it, but Taylor nuked that bridge and I'm sure KG would rather hook up w/ another contender than go back to the minors

na at this stage theres no point,if we traded away the youth we have for a great team (like boston did) than it would be fine
but why would we do it now ??? we dont have a team to win it and kg wont turn us into that

Let's say we amnesty Miller, and pay some team with cap space $3 mil to take Webster.
We bid $11 mil on KG, sign Afllalo, and trade quantity for quality at small forward (Beasley, picks, and ??? for Granger for example).

We're not that far away from being a top 5 team in the west.

granger is only just a upgrade over Beasley
KG isnt getting any younger
i still think we are only just making the finals if the team can stay healthy
