I can't see Iverson or Jermaine O'neal going anywhere. I bet that only one of the two Knicks are on the move, although I don't know who would want them. Randolph will probably go, since Tyrus Thomas is expected to go first.
Kevin Garnett is rumored to be traded to Chicago, and it might go down considering that Chicago has talented and young players to trade for him. Minny would be very interested to get Luol Deng or/and Andres Nocioni. The Bulls would definitely be a top team in the East if they get KG, along with Hinrich, Gordon, Duhon, Sweetney, and Chandler's defense in the interior, Chicago most likely will win 50+ games. I still dont think Chicago would do it though, Deng is a great all-around player and Nocioni is a special foreign talent. They're both two good players on the rise.
Ugh, Kevin Garnett will not be traded, guys. Here are the two things you need to know:1. Kevin Garnett doesn't want to be traded.2. The Timberwolves don't want to trade him.If you combine the two the answer is pretty obvious. However, here in Minnesota there are a lot of rumors about Stephon Marbury coming back here to Minnesota or even better yet...Allen Iverson coming up here to tag team with Kevin Garnett. I'd love to get Iverson up here but I think the possiblity of that happening is slim.

They have no talent but Kobe and Lamar and I'm sure they don't want to trade Kobe so I don't see a trade to the Lakers working. Plus the Twolves don't want to trade KG.
Well I know nothing is gonna be up with the Lakers, I read an article or something on ESPN, said Lakers will only make minor adjustments in the offseason. I really see Steve Francis, Jalen Rose and Stephon Marbury all going. Knicks could get some quality players for that. I wouldn't mind the Lakers picking up Jalen Rose if they waived him, but they won't.

In fact, the people that say that are always labeled as "sources." No names, just sources. Translation: people trying to make a story. All Bird/Walsh have said is that it's possible a move or two could be made. They have not once said they want to trade JO. No GM would come out in public and say "We are looking to trade so and so" unless they have demanded a trade (like Artest).

All I know is that I want Kevin Garnett moved the heck out of Minnesota. His teams lack of talent is runing his potential to be a certain Hall of Famer

I can definitely see some deal for Marbury going down.
I wouldn't do that if I'm McHale. Marbury will simply try to be the star, simply try to be an All Star. If he could get in his head a Chris Paul - type mentality, things could be deadly up in Minny. However, I don't see that happening
I don't think he'd be as selfish as he was the first time in Minnesota, right now they can get him at a bargain price and I don't see what they have to lose. He'd be a better fit there then anywhere else.

Just dont know how Marbury would do since they have tried it before and It didnt work out and he wants to be the star of the team.
I think he's matured since those days, I'd hope so anyway. I don't see how you guys can trade for Iverson.

How the hell do you know he's not going to get traded, you can't just simply go on what all the GM's are saying....Danny Ainge said Antoine Walker would never be wearing a Celtics jersey again and he traded for him right before the 2005 playoffs. Just cuz McHale says he ain't dealin KG doesn't mean that's 100% true.
As a Sixer fan, I don't know what Minnesota could really offer us to compensate for Iverson. Maybe some sort of combination including Davis, Banks, McCants, expiring contracts (if they have any), and draft picks.As an Iverson fan, I've been wanting AI and KG to team up, and I don't see Minnesota shipping KG to Philly, so AI would have to be dealt to Minnesota.If I'm Kevin McHale, and I'm serious about trying to acquire Stephon Marbury, I don't know why in the hell he wouldn't try to atleast make a run at Iverson.
