Pistons And Knicks Make Offers For KG
4th December, 2005 - 1:05 pm
LA Times - An ESPN Insider said that despite the Pistons' heated denials, they'd offered Rasheed Wallace and Darko Milicic, and that the Knicks had offered the expiring contracts of Antonio Davis and Penny Hardaway, but that Garnett wanted to be a Knick and even made "back-channel" overtures.
"I would bet money," the Insider source said, "he will be wearing a Knicks' uniform by the end of February." [READ]



Do you really think KG said he wanted to be a KNick ??? wow

Everyone on Realgm is acting like this is news.

It was reported like 3 weeks ago.

Successful Scenario
Due to New York and Minnesota being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New York and Minnesota had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.


They get expiring contracts, youth and i center in return !!

We have the biggest front line in basketball !!

JJ = 7'1
KANDI = 7'0
FRYE = 6'11
BUTLER = 6'11
KG = 7'0

Silverfuel my patience has grown thin with Curry !! That is why i think he will be traded to get KG due to Frye being toooooo valuable to give up !! Besides we still have JJ at the center !!

This trade is horrible, why do you insist on giving up our whole team to make this work, when a real GM is doing just the opposite, please give it up, your idea sucks!.
Besides it NY that is blowing it self up in your trade, Get real, stop smoking that thai stick!.

let's gut what we have to and make it happen

Are you even a fan? Curry,Lee,Robinson, and Ariza? Gut your youth, then your rebuilding in five years again.

Chase your tail!

It kinda doesn't make sense how the one with the more accurate and descriptive title gets locked.
