<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>We may never know exactly how close the Timberwolves came to trading Kevin Garnett to the Golden State Warriors on NBA draft night last summer. If you ask the Charlotte Bobcats' Jason Richardson, one of the key players involved in the trade that never happened, the proposed deal came very close to completion. Richardson told people the night he was informed of the trade that Garnett was being included as part of the deal. Instead, Golden State traded Richardson and the draft rights to Jermareo Davidson to Charlotte in exchange for the draft rights to Brandan Wright. Garnett never made it to Golden State in what would have been a three-team trade with Minnesota and Charlotte. "I was very surprised," Richardson said Tuesday. "I thought that was going to happen in the deal. I don't know what happened with it, but he's in a better situation in Boston. He's winning out there with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. It could have gone either way in Golden State. I thought that was the deal, and that's why I got traded."</div> Source

Wasn't there already an article where KG's agent said that KG said he didn't want to be traded to GS? That makes the whole conspiracy theory irrelevant. I'm glad we kept Monta, Beans and Wright.

It would've been too much to give up even for KG so I'm glad Mullin stuck to his guns. Wright looks like he's gonna be a player. We'll have a good core to contend with next season. Maybe a vet pickup like Chris Wilcox to put us over. PG: Baron, Monta, CJ SG: Captain Jack, Buke, Marco SF: AL, Lasme, Barnes (?) PF: Wright C: AB, Cro, Kosta I think we'll trade POB and MP
