KG, one of my favorite players, is actually rumored to possibly want out of Minnesota. I know its been obvious for a while that he isn't satisfied with his team, but he never really voiced his opinion, and T-Wolves executives say that if he asks to be traded, they will do that. The major play in the deal is most likely the Chicago Bulls if this does happen, because they have lots of young guys and an expiring contract with PJ Brown. That would be awesome if it happens cuz I live in Chicago, and KG was born and raised here.
Is this an official rumor or just something you heard word of mouth. If KG were to be traded before the deadline then I agree, Chicago would be the best option with its young talent and draft picks. However, if KG asks for a trade in the offseason then Chicago would be out of the running because without PJ Brown's expiring contract they have no way to make the salaries work without doing a large multi-team trade. But I doubt that KG is asking out right now as the wolves have run off a few consecutive wins and are now in the thick of the playoff race. By the way, KG was born in South Carolina and spent half his childhood there and the other half in Illinois.
From what I heard from a reliable source, on Inside NBA, he hasn't made it clear that he wants out, but it is very likely that he does and the organization will immeditaly make a move when that happens.

If you want anyone to take this rumor seriously you cant just say you heard something from a 'reliable source' on Inside NBA (whatever that is). Dont mistake KG's frustration with not winning with a clear desire to leave Sota. If he really had that desire there is no reason why he would spend a second more of his prime playing in Minny.
I disagree. I think he would stay in Minnesota because it is where he has been for a long time and he would like to spend his time there, but his team is horrible. And by "reliable resources" I mean the two guys who 1st confirmed that Allen Iverson wanted out. Sorry but I don't have there names. Next time I see Inside NBA I'll make sure to get the names.
Wolves are currently tied for 7th in the west with your nuggs, so I wouldnt call them horrible. I agree about the bulls not giving that much (certainly not gordon and deng) but I do believe that if he is traded in the next year, any bidding war could mean that someone overpays for his services. The biggest roadblock for a wolves/bulls trade would be the wolves probebly wanting Deng while the bulls would be hesitant considering how well he has been playing. But none of this really matters until KG actually demands out, if that actually happens
I think it will happen soon, and nuggets are only 7th due to suspensions, or they would be much higher.

It is a common misconception that Garnett spent a large part of his childhood in Illinois, but he spent all except his senior year in Maulden South Carolina... only after he had legal issues (that were inevitably dropped) did he move to Chicago.
KG is a gd player but he is gettin old. Chicago is a gd option but i think he will want to go to a team with the potential to win the title, its the only thing missin from his trophy cabinet.
As much as i want him to stay saunders has a point he is getting old so he may well want to move to a team that could win the title
I`m glad for KG. Finally he`s speaking up about his future. If I were Garnett, I would not let an AI situation happen to me. Get out while you still can.
