Lakers, Wolves reportedly in talks regarding Garnett
- Thread starter MAVA
- Start date
YEH WELL KOBE AINT COMIN TO THE BULLS. PAXSON SAID THAT DEAL AINT GONNA HAPPEN. HE'S SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IT AINT WORTH IT. WHY WOULD U GUT A YOUNG EASTERN CONTENDER FOR 1 DUDE AND BE STUCK IN THE SAME SITUATION BUT WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE. ALL WE NEED IS A BIG MAN. KG COME TO THE BULLS!
BEN WALLACE/DUHON/KHRYAPA/9TH PICK
LETS GO! LOL
Not really...they talked about them getting Al Jefferson, who's a starter on just about any team in the league. They'd get the #5 pick, along with the #7 they already have, and bee able to draft...say, a Jeff Green and a Corey Brewer, or possibly Julian Wright. Plus, they'd have about $20 million in cap space next year, to sign a big free agent, possibly Elton Brand, or Gilbert Arenas...
If this 4-team deal did go through, the LOSERS, if there was one, would easily be the Celtics. Again...

And as far as being happy with the trade, even if Kobe goes...
You'd have Farmar at point (Smush won't be back), Sasha at the 2, Luke Walton at the 3, KG at the 4, and Kwame Brown at the 5...because you traded Odom and Bynum for KG...
Trade won't happen, but that's your lineup for next year...and you'd LOSE MORE THAN THIS YEAR.

End of discussion??? How??? Aint no trade been made so how can u end this discussion dummy?? Be real potna!! This trade aint happening so deal with it!! Call me and whoever what u want, but it wont happen. And no the Bulls would never trade their whole squad for Kobe!! But we would give them a cool trade, but unless they lower their demands then Kobe is stuck and just may have to sit out! Got Em!!
Farmer has tremendous upside? thats news to me and thats why he fell to the lakers at like pick 22 or where ever they picked at last season. players with tremendous upside dont fall past the top 10, or top 20 for that matter.
he was also sent to the d-league during the nba season to keep workin on his game, becuase it wasnt up to par in the pros.

Trade talks that involved sending Minnesota star Kevin Garnett to the Los Angles Lakers have ended, sources within the organizations have told ProBasketballNews.com.
“It’s officially dead. (Timberwolves owner Glen) Taylor won’t allow it to happen,” one source said.
The deal was first reported by the Los Angeles Times as a possible four-team trade that also involved Indiana and Boston, in which the Lakers would have received Garnett. According to the Times, Lakers big men Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum would have been sent to Indiana, and Indiana forward Jermaine O’Neal would have gone to Boston. Minnesota would have received young players and draft picks.
The Times later reported that Boston backed out of the deal -- leaving the Lakers and Timberwolves to negotiate on their own. One scenario reported by the newspaper had the Lakers shipping Odom, Bynum and the No. 19 pick to Minnesota for Garnett.
The Boston Globe and other news sources have reported similar deals within the past 24 hours.
“All discussions have ended (between the Lakers and Timberwolves),” a second source told PBN.com. “There’s no deal.”
A third source would only say “it‘s very slim” when asked if there remained a possibility that Garnett could end up with the Lakers this off-season.
Taylor and Timberwolves vice-president of basketball operations Kevin McHale ended the talks with L.A. after determining the Lakers couldn’t offer enough in return, according to the sources. The Timberwolves are expected to continue seeking a deal for Garnett, and will likely focus their attention again on Boston and possibly Phoenix.
“It seems like they don’t want (Garnett) playing in the Western Conference, and that only makes sense,” the first source said.
Garnett is 31 years old and a 10-time All-Star. He has spent all 12 seasons in Minnesota, and averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists last year.
Garnett is owed $22 million next season and $23 million in 2008-09. His contract expires following the ‘08-09 season and he reportedly has requested an extension.
