"I just think Allen Iverson on any team probably makes it better just because at any time, he's hard to stop," Taylor said. "You get towards the end of the game, he's a difficult player to stop. If you had some other guys around him and a guy like K.G. around him, it gives you some strong options at the end. He's a very unique player. A guy like him, (Phoenix's Steve) Nash, maybe (New Jersey's Jason) Kidd, these guys are very creative and probably would be helpful to almost any team with any combination around them. "McHale would have to find out if this is something Philly wants to do, how bad they want to do it. I would assume a number of teams would have some interest (in Iverson). It's not something you could just do very easily. (Garnett's) contract is so large, you'd have a lot of money tied up in two guys."</div> Source
Maybe he had a change of heart after reading this ... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"I never get discouraged by anything when it comes to Chicago," Garnett said about frequent speculation he might be a trade target of the Bulls. "It always has been a second home for me. I never get discouraged by anything, West Side, South Side, nothing." But Bulls fans might be discouraged about the Timberwolves, who moved to 10-9, a half game better than the Bulls, with their fourth consecutive victory. The theory about trading for Garnett was that if the Timberwolves were failing again they might want to make a deal before Garnett asked to leave, as Philadelphia's Allen Iverson did last week. Then they could acquire a good package of players without having to be forced into a deal. But now the Timberwolves are playing well, and the rumors are that they could make a deal for Iverson to complement Garnett and give each the first true star to play with. Perhaps that would make the Timberwolves a legitimate championship contender. Asked whether it would appeal to him to play with Iverson, Garnett said: "Absolutely. "I never played with AI. We've played softball a couple of times (Iverson is better, Garnett said). We have a connection, we consider each other friends. I know his people, I know his family. Would I be opposed to that? I'm not." Garnett said he has been unaware of the Iverson drama, but relies on teammate and former Bull Trenton Hassell to keep him informed. "He's all ESPN," Garnett said. "He knows all the news. He lets me know what's out there. "Management will do whatever they're going to do. It's out of my hands. I come here to hoop, get double doubles, make sure guys are doing what they should do, try to wreak havoc." </div> Garnett wouldn't mind Chicago
