Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 1:48 pm Post subject: Hopefully a KG deal is in the making |
|
|
I can still remember last year's draft. The Green smokescreen was pretty good. Also the rumored deals that never happened. even the deals that were a handshake away that never happened ( bender).
Smokecreens have become a large part of Mitch's gamplan. And im hoping that the 2007 plan was a smokescreen.
Here's why the 2007 plan will not work--
It cant happen in 2007 because someone decided to extend Brown.
If we trade Odom to make capspace we would be trading the guy who initiates the offense, rebounds better than anyone on the team, and is willing to play second fiddle to Kobe.
If it does happen with this current roster it would be the 2008 plan......
kobe is 30....Phil has to be extended.... and whoever the lakers acquire must be taught the triangle from scratch.
So, im hoping the 2007 thing was a smokescreen. Maybe it is. KG HAS to want out. He has davis next to him. KG will be missing th playoffs again..... then next year, sadly, he will only be older.
What if the whole 07 plan was BS? What if the Laker orgaization is trying to land KG or some other good big? Duncan is untouchable..... Shaq, well it won't happen......Bynum, we alrerady have him...lol... KG makes the most sense.
And where would KG want to land?????
In LA he would be able to play with Kobe. His window of opportunity for a championship would be 5-6 years. If Bynum develops, even longer.
In the offseason, plenty of players would want to land in LA ( like Finley and Van Exel landing in SA for almost nothing last year)
Garnett will end his career as a Great. There is no doubt. But im sure at this point in his career he wants a championship.
lets get in Minnetsota's shoes for a sec....
they have an awesome peice in KG.
they have Ricky Davis, who seems to be playing good lately.
And a Laker-type roster after that.......
they want to move Jaric...... Hassel is a good defender for them.
The Lakers are in a similar situation.
The Lakers and Timberwolves can remain how they are, make the playoffs 2 out of three years, and waste their superstars in their primes....
This sounds a lot like Philladelphia with Iverson.
The Lakers will not move Kobe. However, i think the Timberwolves will deal Garnett within one year. Superstars have to AT LEAST make the playoffs or they will be fed up. Allen Iverson makes the playoffs. Garnett doesnt.
Minnetsota will not have to worry about dealing KG to the west because if they choose to do so, they will be on rebuilding mode anyways. By the time they plan to be good enough to earn a top 5 spot in the west KG will be around 35-36 years old and declining.
I believe it is possible.
PS-- I wonder what was going through KG's mind as Kobe scored 81 points in one night..... Maybe he thought very deeply thet night....... |

im not saying its probable. im saying it is possible. he will be sick of not contending sooner or later...... I hope Kobe doesnt get fed up himself. My guess is kobe retires a Laker. But if somehow the lakers miss the playoff for 3 years.... that can change. I doubt it, though. |

Followed by a fresh countdown to the post season(post playoffs) draft and free agency.
It never ends.
PS I'd like to see KG in P&G in his prime as much as anyone. _________________ BORN REBLE |

For the last time, Kobe has a NO TRADE CLAUSE IN HIS CONTRACT. He will NOT be traded in this contract. Nogonnahappen |

It is a no trade clause. He has the final say. so if he wants out the lakers have to part with him. |

My point exactly, Kobe has character, he will not bail. Same actually goes for KG. Everybody go watch Kevin's interview on nba.com. He is not a quitter, he will stay with the team until management "does not see him in the future" |

Uh-oh, the Lakers are in trouble of upsetting Kobe then...and the Cavs may lose LeBron also. Why don't we just wait for him then? |

KG ain't coming. Say it with me now KG ain't coming. With the way Odom's been playing we'd be lucky to trade him for Keith Van Horn |
