Laker fans have the right to pipe dream just like any other fans.

He's been living in Cali for a while now I believe.</div> He would rather play for LA probably because it's one of his hangout points. It's known he likes to hang out in Malibu and work out. It's like his summer retreat. Many players like to play for cities they live in full time. I wouldnt consider Miami a great franchise. They have talent, but they are not a great franchise. They are a franchise who hasn't been around for the longest time and have yet to win a championship. Plus Miami has TOO much talent that demand the ball now. Shaq, Wade, Walker, Williams, possibly Finley? The addition of KG would make the team self-centered and team work would be non-existant. Lakers and Boston started it all and have the most rings. That's why it would be appealing to play for LA and yes Boston.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting playmaker14:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't care how much people will say that they will share the rock it won't work. Kobe will want his 25 shots a game and KG will want his to. What about Odom? He'll be wanting some shots as well. That definately ain't gonna work.</div> I didn't know Garnett took 25 shots a game? And last time I checked Jordan took around the same shots Kobe did, so are saying he can't be successful?
Boston a winning team huh...I see.....They've won exactly how many NBA finals in the last 18 years? As for Miami- there's no room for KG in Miami, both chemistry wise and Phsyically. You really think you could fit KG and Shaq on the same floor...along with Atoine "Ima heave it from 40 ft" Walker, Jason Williams, and James Posey....oh and I forgot that really young dude....Dwayne Wade....yeah he'd command the ball a lot too. Not gonna happen. NY- Wouldn't go there because the franchise sucks and he's already had the pleasure of playing with a score first selfish PG. (Sam Cassel). Marbury played for the Wolves and they didn't get along..why would they this time? And as for coming to LA- because of all those clubs you mentioned, LA is one dynamic big man away from rings. KG and the entire world knows this. KG also happens to be one of the top 3 big men on the planet....It'd be the perfect fit....other than all the technical stuff Shape mentioned...

Oh, my bad how could I forget, and LA doesn't either? If KG would be traded to NY, you can bet Marbury would have to be traded, so that wouldn't be a problem. KG coming to LA wouldn't mean the Lakers would be better than the Spurs, Rockets, etc. They would be playoff contenders, possibly championship contenders, but they wouldn't win a championship with just KG and Kobe. No way.
Tempted 2 Touch copied his posts from other sites. Fans gave him the benefit of the doubt until he was pointed out as a plagerizer. The idea of KG coming to your favorite team would cause most fans to run with it. He seems to be rumored to LA every season, but I'm sure most fans are skeptical about it ever happening. The TWolves would not trade KG to the Knicks, especially if it involved Marbury. He left on bad terms like he has with every team he's played for. Besides the TWolves have Jaric & Hudson holding down the backcourt now. I don't think any GM would allow KG and Shaq to team up, unless the Heat were willing to give up Wade in return. I also doubt Miami would want to spend $38Million on just two players. I could see KG being traded to Boston, since the Celtics have Paul Pierce, and a load of young talent to offer. Plus McHale & Ainge have a history together playing with the Celtics and are still close friends.
^Shape brought up some good points, and Boston really is the only team that could trade for KG, besides the Lakers. (Odom and another player or two). But why would KG ever want to go to Boston? Everyone knows that a team has to go through at least two or three years of playoff testing before they win the championship. Look at Pheonix last year, they played incredible (besides that lack of defense thing lol) and they lost to the eventual champions...The spurs had to lose to the Lakers 3 years in a row before breaking through and winning the title again. If KG went to Boston for most likely Paul Peirce, and they magicaly became a good team... it would still take a couple years before KG got that elusive ring. Wait a few years to have a chance at a title in Boston, or go for the much safer bet of teamin up with Kobe and Phil in LA? If KG wanted to wait around and rebuild with a team like boston, he might as well just stay in Minnesota.
Boston isn't good because they don't have a truly solid roster. Once they got Walker back, I was thinking they were going to be a threat in the playoffs, and what happends? They lose in the first round. Boston wouldn't just need KG, they would need to solidify their broken down roster. Danny Ainge hasn't been a great GM for Boston, so in the long run Boston is not going to be it's old self for a long time.

If Garnett were to be traded, I guarentee he would go to the East. And BTW, LA woudn't be a safer bet. Between Boston and LA, that's pretty even, because the West is a lot tougher than the East.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post"> , because the West is a lot tougher than the East.</div> Not for long....
SoOoOo....since all this talk about KG and Kobe teaming up...what about the third dude in the article? You know....Kris Humphries...the guy the article was about...cause he's working out with them too.....does this mean he's joining the team too?! together these guys could be one helluva trio! *This was completely sarcastic*
Kobe and KG... McHale must smoke some crazy *insert your favorite drug here* if that ever happens. The only time you will see Kobe and KG playing together professionally in the same team is in the All-Stars game. It's all fine and dandy to pipe dream about the possibility of them playing together as Shape said, but does anyone here really thinks KG would ever be in LA? I'm not saying he wouldn't want to because that's a whole different issue but I'm just curious as to if you guys think this could ever happen.

It's pure speculation and basically you started a argument over nothing. Laker fan's think it would be cool to try and trade for KG, what's the big deal with letting them discuss it...
