Slam online has posted an interview with Kevin Garnett. In it, Garnett says that if the Wolves don't improve considerably, he wants out of Minnesota. He doesn't sound as if he is very happy with what the Wolves have done so far. The Celtics could put together one of the better packages to bring him in. Danny and Kevin are friends and have dealt with each other before. Could Garnett demand a trade by the trade deadline this year? Hoopshype indicates that after this year, Garnett can opt out of his contract. We don't have the cap room to sign him as a free agent but could put together a nice package for a sign and trade.

Would Boston be an attractive enough team to bring him here?
Boston has a great core of very promising young players. Even with trading several to bring Garnett in, we would still have a deep team. We have a star in Pierce and we have 2 very good young point guards. Would that be enough to assure KG that Boston would become a championship team with him on it?

Would Garnett come to the team if Wally was still here since they reportedly didn't get along very well before Wally was traded here? Wally would add another very good veteran presence along with Pierce. That would put Pierce at the 2, Wally at the 3 and KG at the 4 along with Perk in the center and Telfair or Rondo at the Point. A pretty good starting lineup with good depth behind them. Would it be enough?

Would it be wise for Danny to keep the group as it is now and let this group show what they can do and improve this year and wait to see if KG opts out or demands a trade. Chances are that the Wolves won't improve all that much with "Stonehands" Blount as their center and Mike James as their PG. The Celtics as they are right now should be an improved team over last year if they can stay healthy. It would give Al a chance to prove that he is going to live up to his promise. It would give us a chance to look at the newer players to know which to keep and which we can trade. It would give Doc time to prove that he can coach or to prove that the team will never get better unless he is replaced. Giving this team a chance to play without any changes would answer a lot of questions.

I think there is a good chance that Garnett will be available either at the trade deadline or next off season, either by demanding a trade or opting out of his contract after this season. I believe that the Celtics will have as good a chance as any to land him in a trade or a sign and trade. I believe the Celtics will show enough promise to be a viable option for Garnett to want to come here. I believe it is worth the chance to wait and see. What do you think?

"But one thing that I can’t stand is if I’m working hard and the organization upstairs isn’t working hard, it’s not fair. It’s not fair to me. That’s not fair to a person who’s actually trying to get a championship. I feel like when it works is when both sides are just as active and as hungry." "Would you want to leave, if the T-Wolves don’t get better… I got to… …down the road somewhere? …I got to. If you’re not working towards a championship, then why are we in this? I’m in it to win, man, I’m not in it to be coming back talking about next year. I’m 30. I’ve probably got 4 to 5 years, you know what I’m saying?"
