That is stupid. We've been building our team around yao. Why would we giveh im up? Garnett is arguably the best player in this league and the best for the last 5 years. But come on now, is he worth 4 players? One being a superstar in his own right? Shaq only worth 3 players to the Lakers and neither of those players were as good as yao. One other thing, as much as I love Garnett, he hasn't proved he can lead a team in the playoffs. He has one good post-season last year only because of the experience of Cassell and Sprewell (both players have been to the finals, one of them winning a ch'ship with clutch city). I'm not sure if the KG Tmac thing would work. KG can't win titles, and the team chem with Yao and Tmac is great now.
