Garnett Doing the Kareem Thing?
Going from the Upper Midwest to The City of Angels?
"The Los Angeles Times cited league sources on Monday saying that the Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves are in discussions that could bring Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles.
Trade discussions initially involved the Lakers, Wolves, Pacers and a fourth team, and sources told ESPN that that team was the Celtics. They would have gotten Jermaine O'Neal from the Pacers and sent young players to the Wolves. The Lakers would have gotten Garnett, while the Pacers would have landed Los Angeles forward Lamar Odom and center Andrew Bynum. Minnesota would also have acquired at least one of the teams' draft picks, possibly Boston's No. 5 in Thursday's draft."
I'm not going to pretend that I know the NBA, but this seems to be a move that could 1) make Kobe happy and 2) make the Lakers matter more than they did last season. Isn't that a win-win for a franchise that needs to do those two things to justify their ticket prices?
