Garnett Deal Vetoed By Hawks Owner ESPN.com - 06/27 - 11:28 PM EST The three-team blockbuster among the Timberwolves, Suns and Hawks hit what is being termed "a major roadblock" Wednesday according to sources. The Wolves have been making multiple calls to find a third team that can facilitate a deal for Garnett. The Wolves would receive the Hawks' numbers 3 and 11 picks in the draft as well as several cap-friendly contracts. The Hawks would receive Amare Stoudemire. The Suns would get back Kevin Garnett. But one of the Hawks owners vetoed the deal and it now seems unlikely that a deal will be consummated by draft time. The ongoing litigation that has engulfed Atlanta's ownership group has apparently crippled the organization's decision-making ability. Steve Belkin won a previous lawsuit against the other Hawks owners and has the right to veto any move that puts the team over the salary cap. Several sources indicate that it was Belkin who vetoed this proposed trade. Meanwhile, the Suns are claiming to have never had direct contact with the Hawks and say the deal never reached the stage where they were asked to give up Stoudemire. ____________________________________________________________ Leave it up to that mess of a front office in Atlanta to mess up a sweet deal that works for each team involved!!! It's a damn shame
I have a feeling this deal was never really going to happen, and if it was, Phoenix would've been the one that shut it down, not Atlanta.
man atl is really pissing me off with this move. this is why they have been in rebuilding mode for a long time but thay are getting better.
Supposedly Twolves would have went after Horford and Noah with the other picks and maybe get another 2nd to get Taureen and Richard in the 2nd round.

I don't see Phoenix doing this trade. Why would they give up Amare to ATL?
