Aging superstar, with gargantuan contract and aching knees...

seems like a perfect fit for the NY knicks!!!!

Garnett has aching knees? And he's aging? Since when did these factors occur?

This would be an absolute dream for all Knicks fans. Like Bobs said, I don't know how much truth there is to this rumor but if it is true then all we can do is hope that maybe it will go down.

they don't want to have another Chris Webber situation in which they are playing a max contract for a guy whose knees might have issues, especially when its 20 million a season for the next four years.

That is news to me too but mentioned in the article. I like the trade. I really don't want Wally here and I am not giving up Frye, Ariza, Nate. I would like them take their pick between Sweetney or Lee. I mean we have to give up youth and future picks for 1 player and a half. Not like getting Shaq. I mean this is right up there with the Marbury deal the only diferrence is that KG was on a team that went to the conference final two years ago but was awful last year. KG and Marbury didn't light up things before either. LB should help but ... it looks nice on paper, though. Really robbing Peter to pay Paul.

put yourself in Minnesota's fans shoes. would you rather see Sweetney and the #30 overall pick in the draft or Frye and Nate Robinson? Minnesota is not settling on Sweetney and Lee. They're going to need a bigman in return as in Frye who they can at least sell as having potential since he's yet to play a game and possibly even Nate. I would hate to lose Nate so hopefully they'd settle for just Frye & trash

You want Mchale to sell to the minn fans that they are losing one of the games best players and in return you are getting frye, who has potential and a draft pick? OK, you ask mchale to do that, yet IT, the ultimate salesman is still having a hard time selling frye to the fans in NY, especially the ones on this forum...

Good luck..

what does being cheery or not have to do w/being delusional, as some of you apparently are if you think this trade has any shot in hell of happening.

you are aware that 90% of the trades proposed on this forum have no chance at getting done right?

obviously, but this one is 1 of the more entertaining ones i've read in a while.

its a lot better than selling a 6-8 300LB Sweetney who can't stay on the court for 25mins as the chosen one to replace KG LOL

Rod, Frye or Sweetney both make no sense. The only way this happens as written in the article, is if KG wants out, Minny wants KG out and the only place he can be traded is NYC.

anyone who thinks the TWolves would trade away their superstar franchise player along w/Wally & Hassell for Tim Thomas, Maurice Taylor, Anfernee Hardaway and 2 pretty bad first round picks (since the Knicks would become instant Conference contenders after that trade was made) is either on crack or should be smoking it to wake up from their state of delerium.

it would take 1st round picks & young talent up the whazoo to make MIN even remotely consider trading a guy like KG...Chicago would seem to have the best chance since they have the talent to give up for him...Tim Thomas? Penny Hardaway? Mo Taylor? you guys are seriously on drugs.
