what you guys think about KG going to Phoenix for Stoudemire and next years unprotected first round draft from Atlanta.

xbox, if you are thinking Wolves may get better offer than Barbosa + Marion then you are dreamin'... Those two are borderline All Stars. And you won't be getting Marion for cheap..... he be asking Max Salary after 2 years

I like KG to play for Bulls.... But you won't be getting proven players like Barbosa and Marion.

if marion goes to MN that will be temporary . coz he might look for another team after two years. but if MN can get stoudemire then he will be locked up for atleast 4, 5 yrs. which is beneficial for MN. Mn will ask for stoudemire

Then I see KG playing one more year for Minny and he will opt out to play next to D Howard in Sunny Florida..... worse situation???

AX bro -- KG is headed to Pheonix if three team deal works out. Marion to Boston, Al jeff to MN. KG bro to Suns.
But to trade him, teams need a oath from garnet that he wont opt out next year. if they send them to boston, he can easily opt out next year and become a knicks. Knicks will have plenty of money to offer from salary cap.
KG got to go to Big cities like NY.

Beltran,
KG wont opt out if he goes to Suns, he is dreaming to play with Nash of course. Just reading newspaper article from arizona republic, it seems Kerr is still trying to work out a deal for KG and he said nobody is untradable, that includes Stoudemire. But he is also weary of the financial part of it, I mean having KG + Stoudemire on the same team will shoot their salary through the roof, maybe KG will be willing to play for lesser money....but ya as u said, they need to find someone to dump off Marion. Either that or do KG Stoudemire swap....:).

please do not trade this Black Wolves...from Minny.....!!! I love this guy spend his entire basketball career here...!!!
God damn it ..they need to fire off GM McHale .....!!!

mn has to trade kg coz he they wait till next year, he will opt out his contract and mn will get nothing. but if they can trade him now, they can get some good player. same thing with marion he will opt out his contract next year so mn wont take him as a trade. thats the reason mn wants Stoudemire. Ani beltran bro, who told u NY has cap left. Ny is the team with highest cap. they are way off of the limit. Their salary is almost 93 mil. so dont think they have anyplace to add KG. anyway it will be good for him if he goes to team like phoinex or dallas.

the rumor has it, KG is coming to LA. If it is true, this non Lakers fan would go see 2 Home games this season

What's up with Bostonians??? Celts legends Kevin McHale and Larry Bird with Celtic HELPING Lakers to get KG??? I hope there is a way to include Lakers Shotime Coach Pat Riley and Shaq in this mess....

Sounds like something is wrong in NorthEast Air these days... Is Big Papi on Sale too??? Yankees needs DH and they can extend his contract :=)

It the trade happens, Wolves owner should fire Kevin McHale and sell the team, Larry Bird Should fire himself...... Ainge??? He should have fired long time ago :=)

All are rumors. KG stays in MN.

Twin cities, I am Sorry to say that KG wont be staying in MN next year.

I second twin cities...KG aint going anywhere. trades involving him makes for a good speculation discussion but that's about it all. nor is kobe going anywhere.

players like KG & Kobe make more than 50% of total nba salary cap. so unless you have some very good 1st-2nd year players no one team can afford them, unless ofcourse you pay the luxury tax...which is for every $1 you go over you'll have to pay another $1 or 100% tax.

everyone keeps talking about the bulls in these big name rumors but why would they want to part ways with their young nucleus and bring on KG or Kobe with their huge contracts?? yes they will be the favorites to win for the next 1-2-3 years but it won't be a done deal. the suprs aren't going anywhere and jazz will only get older and experienced. so if the bulls make deal for one of these guys and don't win in the next few years they are looking at another long rebuilding just like the ex jordan era that took them good 6-8 years. when they can just keep the core group of guys they have right now, keep grooming them and let them get the experince and you can be a really good competitive team for the next 10 years. so any trade involving these big names guys with the bulls for their young guys just don't make sense to me....not to mention bulls have a couple decent expiring contracts that they can use to go after may be not a super star type but certainly an allstar type i.e. shawn marion

anyways...good to see some familiar names to talk hoops on a slowww day at work. ax and unknown bro, you guys excited abt this year's draft? i am...esp for our fantasy draft...there will be some sleepers

Hukka bro good to see you here :=)

I have to disagree regarding luxury tax. Big cities teams like NY and LA can easily afford expensive players like KG. I heard that Lakers can make around 50 mil if they were to reach finals. Rumor has it Buss Senior is ready to give up some young girls to sign KG for long term contract...

KG and KOBE together??? That's another story for next time ;)

Any of the Fantasy Owner coming to LA this weekend??? I would love to chitchat about the fantasy teams and Sports talk.

Hukka bro,
I have my draft kit ready already, hehe...speculations are there but with so much trade talk Garnett has to feel pretty bad at being shopped around like this, but as Hukka said it's tough to pair up to players like KG and Kobe with their salaries. I would rather see KG end up in Phoenix somehow, but whatever...we will see whathappens. but kobe+KG+Phil ...that should be really good combo for 2/3 years to come, about that luxury tax, yeah Buss will have to pay that but can you imagine how many ppl will come to see Kobe and KG, hell he can raise the ticket prices and still get full crowd each game.

wats up fellas....looks like KG2LA rumor is losing its grip as we speak. now may be kobe would like to come to minny ...haha wishful thinking :p

but yes ax and unknown bros, agree with you both on the market value of KG Kobe duo in LA but even with just those 2 i think it will be hard for them to beat teams like phoenix and SA with their current group of players. LA needs more of an assist man than a big guy in my opinion and that's probably why kobe is pissed for them to not make the deal for jason kid.

i think the best team in position make a mega deal is portland with their no.1 pick in tomorrow's draft and their already loaded young talent....but they are one of the poorly ran org so can't expect much from them.

anyways it will be fun to see who goes from 3 - 10 in tomorrow's draft.

whats uppp brothers.... good to see ya all in here talkin bout trades n drafts...
As a lakers fan, its a dream come true to see KG and Kobe Combo ..but seems like that trade isnt happenin :-(
I heard Jermaine O'neal coming to LA LA land...and in my opinion that is not gonna help lakers..O'neal is better off in the Eastern Conference where he doenst have to play one on one wit any great PF ...if he comes to west, he has to go against lots of Monster like Duncan, Brand,Amare, Dirk...man..i will get sick watchin him against those guys...so please...not O'neal..
I agree wit Hukka bro..lakers really need a PG who can get some load off kobe's ...They should try to get C.Billups or atleast get L.Ridnour or whoever it is but not Smush Parker again!!!!!
I am really lookin forward for lakers to be on top again..which seems like a dream rite now :-( hope it comes true soon GO KOBE!!!!

Well one day to draft day, it seems like KG will stay put in MInnesota, at least for a year, who's mchale gonna draft this time? As for kobe, he gets paid so much he already has 3 rings and he chased Shaq out of time, he should just shut up and play....:)

Don't you Wolves fans think you deserve better GM than McHale? Under his wing, Wolves only made once out of first round.....

I am not a big fan of KG but i think he should get a shot @ Finals... best scenario for him could be playing for Eastern Conf team

aakash bro, Lakers got no cap room to sign Billups and I dont think Pistons will do sign n trade.

If Lakers won't deal Kobe starting 07-08 season, he should fake an injury and stay home :=) That should be his message to old pervet Buss Sr.

Do you guys think Baby O'Neal is an upgrade over Odom??? Why would Lakers trade 2 starters for ONE? If Pacers include Tinsley then I see Lakers benefiting else Lakers would be sub 500 team


I see same players will be dancing in LA LA Land :=)

KG to Phoenix. sounds great, not that Iam a Phoenix fan or anything but it defintly will make the league more interesting.
but then again, where's my niga stoudimire goin'.
They better find him a good home.

Hey u guys. KG ain't going nowhere. McHale doesn't have the balls to trade KG

you are right punte damai
