    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK -- Would a reunion between Stephon Marbury and Kevin Garnett be enticing? Garnett said yes, and Marbury agrees. The only question is where?

    When told that Garnett said in an interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that he would love to reunite with Marbury in Minnesota, Marbury said he'd like to see it happen, too -- only in New York.

    "For him to come here," Marbury said, "that would be beautiful. That would be the best thing ever."

    Of course wanting to reunite with his former teammate and having it happen are two separate things. The Timberwolves may end up trading Garnett if things continue to go south in Minnesota.

    Despite the common perception that Marbury and Garnett have a frosty relationship, they spoke affably before their game Monday at the Garden, and Garnett brought up Marbury's name twice unsolicited in Boston on Wednesday.

    "It'd be interesting," Garnett said of a reunion. "I wouldn't oppose it. I have no beef with Steph. ... Yeah, I'd welcome Steph. I don't think Steph will come back to Minnesota, though. But I mean, New York's cold, New Jersey's cold. Who knows, man? We all mature and get older."

    Garnett was asked about the possibility of him going to the Knicks, and wasn't very enthusiastic.

    "I'm not New York, man," he told the paper. "I'm a Timberwolf at heart, man. But to have Steph back in 'Sota, that would be some crazy. That would be hot. That would revive the city."

    Garnett and Marbury played together during Marbury's 2 1/2 seasons in Minnesota at the beginning of Marbury's career, from 1996-99. </div>

    That would be exciting to have them together in NY. I wonder what NY would have to give up though.
