In fact, the T-Wolves are probably more inclined to keep Garnett and could try and land either Francis or Stephon Marbury from the Knicks in order to shore up the point, offering a package like Ricky Davis and Marko Jaric.

It remains highly unlikely that Minnesota will trade Garnett. The Timberwolves are said to be looking to move their No. 6 draft pick for a veteran to complement Garnett, though it's hard to imagine they could get someone significant at that level in this draft. With Larry Brown likely out as New York's coach, it seems the Knicks will keep Stephon Marbury. So maybe the Timberwolves will make a deal for Steve Francis, who actually could help. But they look like a team just trying to make the playoffs in Garnett's waning years. What's the point?

6th pick is a pipe dream

I'd love to move Francis. Francis is such a bitch it's annoying. Send that headcase to Minnesota and make them give the Knicks that #6 pick.

Who comes back is the real story.

100% with you there. I'd rather be rid of Francis than Marbury.

If we deal francis instead of Marbury, we might have to sweeten the pot by adding a draft pick as well (20). I'd still do it. Theres a chance that either gay or Ty Thomas may slide to the 6 hole.......
