3. Heaps of players and of course GM's go to SL games. I'm sure there were plenty of other GM's from around the league at that SL game aswell.
Your arguments are weak and pathetic. It I feel bad that you would believe all this hype! your life must amusing.
P.S It's the Wolves! WOLFS is not a word
KG wants to be traded, because he wants to win, that guy is almost 30 years old, and he was the first player straight to NBA from high school, nobody knows how much longer he can play,, if he stays in Wolves(thanks for the correction), he's gonna wait years before he wins a ring, Wolves let Sam and Spree walk, and did not get any help for KG, so KG has to be upset, really upset. Also like I said, the only way to win over Spurs, Heat, Pacers, is to team with Kobe, that makes him a final contender right away? isn't that correct?
Lakers, Bulls, Wolves are the only few teams that did not make any big move yet, so there may be a 3 team deal like I just mentioned, why you call that a weak argument?

Or Miami for Walker and a few others
basically saying he wants to go to LA to win is a invalid argument. Kobe has yet to prove that he can work with a star player without a problem. Shaq and him had ego problems, Odom and Kobe isn't working out yet so far.

Because what does moving to LA have to do. Like I said alot of Athletes moved around the globe. If I had that kinda money I would too. Also Kobe and KG worked out together because they were buddies. Can't friends hang out ? Like Pross said a few players and gms go watch games so what are the chances of meeting mitch richmond. Yes maybe he wants a ring but he'll be staying put.

What about those 3 rings he won with Shaq? Kobe learned his lesson from last season, plus KG and him are close friends, KG is not as cocky as Shaq, so they will work out fine, that should not even be a problem.
Kobe didnt have much time to play with LO, Kobe was injuried, when he came back, LO got injuried...

They are losing too much. Besides, the salary doens't even work out. KG and Wally together has about 30 million while Odom is less than 15 Mil. Even with Mihm's and Vlade's contract, it doesn't work out. Besides, doesn't KG have a no trade clause? I'm not sure.

I am just making connections, why are you being so picky about the house thing, the SL game thing , I guess everything else I said makes sense to you all, you just hate Lakers too much to believe Lakers will be contenders this upcoming season.

2. Garnett has a "two way no trade clause". Which basically means, even if Garnett demands a trade the Timberwolves have to lift their no trade clause as well. The likelyhood of that happening is close to impossible. Glen Taylor knows that the only reason why people buy tickets and buy Wolves merchandise is because of Garnett. If Taylor trades Garnett (who is a very good friend of his), he will lose out on ticket sales, merchandise sales and sponsers. He would lose millions and millions and he'd lose the best player in the world.
The Wolves did their move this summer... By trading Cassell and letting Spree go... Those two moves cleared the slate and probably will make for a good run at things in a year or two... The wolves have been building around KG for such a long time and they know they've got the best damn player in the league and they are not going to give him up...

Why will he hang his jersey? It's not like he's Larry Bird or MJ

Sean Elliot's jersey was hanged in San Antonio. He's nowhere near Jordan or Bird. It's not just about talent (not to take anything away from Vlade), It's how much you meant to the team. Seems to me that you're just a Kobe bandwagoner and not a real Lakers fan

Sit wrote:Man, KG rumours... just stop it cause it aint happening. KG is Minny's franchsie man and even though, the situation there aint thjat great, I doubt he will be moving anywhere, at least for another year. No chance at all! And he won't go to LA... There's noone to trade for him. Except Kobe and Kobe can't go either.
Lamar Odom won't be leaving the Lakers because Jax is in love with him. I think LA is happy with the squad they have now because it was made public that they aren't expectin too much out of the team.
The Lakers have nothing worth giving up for KG by himself, let alone a second key player like Wally World. Forget matching salaries for a moment; there's just no way the Timberwolves would trade KG unless it was a blockbuster deal with a superstar coming in return. Add that to the fact that there haven't been any rumblings about KG demanding a trade as well as the fact he has no leverage since he recently signed a long extension and a trade to LA really seems unlikely.
And I don't think Mihm and Odom fit the Bulls' plans, so I'd rather that deal didn't go through. Has anything from HoopsWorld ever come to fruition? It's really sloppy rumours reporting to not even mention names and possible scenarios. Any of us could write up a report like that and toss out all kinds of bizarre rumours. (Yes, I know. Now that I've said that, something will happen.)
