Forward to the basket

Faced with Kevin Garnett, a big fish who rarely tries the transfer market, it is estimated that anyone will be tempted.

It's no wonder that James Dolan clamored to exchange half of the Knicks team for him, and it was not in vain that the little emperor asked the management to drag this lone wolf of Minnesota from the cold forest to Cleveland.

It is said that this is a big draft year, and it is also a time of great harvest, but there is no doubt that the biggest fish in it must be Garnett, and he will even have a more sensational effect than Ray Allen leaving the Sonics .

After all, this lone wolf has been wandering in Minnesota territory for 12 years, and it is still full of power.

Even though the Timberwolves' record in the Western Conference was unspeakable last season, Garnett's statistics can still soar to 22.4 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game, which is still very brutal.

Just like him in the previous 12 years, when a Chinese zodiac sign went through a reincarnation, this ferocious lone wolf can still bite out a piece of world with incomparable vigor in the territory that belongs to him.

But at the end of that season, anyone could tell that the back of that lone wolf was a bit lonely.

Especially when he began to feel that he was no longer young, he became more eager for the championship ring.

Garnett is thinking about his future. In fact, since the beginning of last season, this wolf king who has been lingering in Minnesota for a long time finally wants to leave his own territory. It is really difficult to live alone.

No matter how fierce a lone wolf is, when he has to face five or more opponents every night, and there is no one around to help, who can endure this for ten years?Can you?

Minnesota may be one of the cities with the worst box office in the nba. The weather is cold and there is no bustling metropolis. Most importantly, the attraction for big-name players here is really close to zero.

These guys who play basketball all want to get ahead, not to mention how famous they are, at least they want to be known.

Especially those guys with a little bit of ambition, even if they can't be the core of the team, they still want to get acquainted in a big city. Anyway, few people have the idea to play in places like Minnesota or Memphis.

The appeal of a small city is like this. If Cleveland doesn't have a little emperor, can it get attention?Will the Gilbert Brothers satisfy most of James' demands?Not for anything else, just to keep this guy.

But there is only one little emperor in the league. You can't expect every small city to have this kind of attention. Even if Minnesota has Garnett, he can't always attract people's attention to this unpopular city.

Even if Iverson went to Denver to partner with Anthony to become a "golden double gun", he was unwilling to move to the Timberwolves to partner with Garnett.

Minnesota's poor mountains and rivers, really only Garnett can stick to it. Although this guy broke into the NBA world with his high school resume, his dedication is worthy of his annual salary.

Many people are saying that it is because Garnett holds the maximum salary, so the Timberwolves have no way to find him a suitable partner. The split of the two combinations is all because of this. This girl is pure farting !

If O'Neal and Kobe demanded a maximum salary, there would be very little or no such nonsense!

Just because these two guys have won the championship, and Garnett has only reached the Western Conference Finals once, so you, a high school student with a salary of more than [-] million, is an original sin, and if you don't win, it is a sin!

This is the bullshit argument of some commentators. They will show a bunch of data to prove that if Garnett was willing to cut his salary, then Marbury might not have left, and the later three-headed monsters would not have parted ways. <The storm can continue to blow, maybe the history of the Timberwolves playoffs has been rewritten long ago, and political commissar Ma will not be messing around with the Knicks at this moment.

Garnett probably won't be in the first round of the playoffs for several years in a row. Anyway, if you extend your ideas according to what those guys said, as long as Garnett doesn't ask for a big contract, the prospect of the Timberwolves is quite broad.

And it was the same in the period of the three-headed monster later. If Garnett took the initiative to cut his salary, then both Sprewell and Cassell could stay. Maybe they would really fight out in the West and finally get close to the stage of the finals.

Of course, all of these are hypotheses, and they are all based on groundless and unfounded conditions, allowing those experts and commentators to reason and confirm with a bunch of broken data?Sorry, it's not their thing at all.

As long as someone is saying this, someone will definitely be listening, and with the departure of Political Commissar Ma and the disintegration of the three-headed monster, such a statement has become more and more popular, and it can even be said to be said on the bright side.

Especially when the situation of the Timberwolves starts to look bad, this kind of argument will be rampant.

Some people will not use their envy and hatred to make themselves stronger. They are more willing to see someone in trouble and someone being reprimanded, so that they will join in and step on it secretly.

It's not a bad taste, it's just a kind of bad nature of people. When others say that he can't do it, you will go along with it.

Then he began to use various methods to prove that he is really not good. If everything comes true, most people will be like a magic stick, telling others in a boastful manner, look, if my brother says he is not good, then he is really not good.

Surely they won't put themselves in their shoes and think about it, if you put you bastards on it, it will definitely work?

This is the fault of the results, because you didn't win the championship, so it's a luxury for you to hold a contract of hundreds of millions, and your existence didn't make the Timberwolves out of the West and become a strong team.

When you become the target of public criticism, no matter what you say or do, it is wrong, and you cannot refute it, otherwise you will only attract more criticism, even if you were once the worship target of that city.

At this time, no one will remember that you have played in this city for 12 years, and all the records in team history are marked with your name. Sometimes you even have to play five positions alone to carry the team forward.

There is a guy in Minnesota who has reached the All-Star for ten consecutive years, won the regular season mvp once, and reached the Western Conference Finals, but in the eyes of many people, his playing style is far less affordable than Duncan's stability.

Because that stone-like man brought three championships to San Antonio, and a guy who was the wolf king in Minnesota only left a salary record of over [-] million yuan in this cold city.

No one will even remember everything he has done here, including his deadly confrontation with his opponents, including his defense of the city's honor. When he failed, all that was left was ruins and a chorus of criticism.

Few people have said that Joe's boss had an annual salary of more than 3000 million U.S. dollars in the last year. If it weren't for Pippen's basic salary, the boss would have won the second three consecutive championships so smoothly?Then get out of the way?

Don't look at Joe's last season in Chicago helping Pippen challenge the team. If that guy really wanted to help his brother, he wouldn't wait until 98 to get justice for Pippen.

It can only be said that everyone wanted to have a perfect curtain call at that time, so the boss Joe stood up to speak for Pippen, and then the internal divisions in Chicago were also put on the spot, and the team manager and owner pointed the finger at it Gang Leader Qiao, but the final victory covered up a lot of exposed things, and it also fulfilled the reputation of Gang Leader Qiao.

But because of the two three-peat championships, Joe left behind the title of God of Basketball, and Rodman, Pippen, and even Kukoc and others by his side didn't get much benefit, especially It's Pippen.

But at this time, absolutely no one would criticize Gang Leader Qiao's past, just like this guy's flamboyant affairs outside and bad gambling habits in the gambling field. Under the prestige of two and three consecutive championships, these are just floating clouds.

The winner writes history. This is the most standard answer. Garnett's only mistake is that he failed to lead the team to the final championship. Otherwise, who else can talk about his big contract?

These are facts that cannot be changed. Even if Garnett does not leave, the future of Minnesota has little to do with him. The team needs to be rebuilt, and the old courtiers can only pack up and leave.

Although it shows that there are still many Minnesota fans who hope that Garnett will stay, but after playing for 12 years, they are still a little tired. The continuous failures and wandering outside the playoffs time and time again are really tired.

Even an iron man who is basically untiring and can play in five positions, under the impact of such continuous failures, he must feel a little physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention that there are still many people who are turning against each other.

The bargaining chips of the Lakers and Celtics are on the table of the Timberwolves, but now the guys in Minnesota want to trade, and they have to think about the idea of ​​their former wolf king.

After all, Garnett hasn't left yet, and his own opinion can still decide many things, and the team's management doesn't want to cause public outrage. Sending such a leader away, they will bear the pressure from the fans, you can imagine.

In order to attract this lone wolf, Los Angeles has already offered a high enough price. In addition to agreeing to the salary requirements, they can also put the most potential big man in the team into the transaction.

Putting Bynum, the big guy who is said to succeed O'Neal, in the Timberwolves' trading options is not only a risk, but also a temptation. The rebuilding Timberwolves need this kind of potential stock.

And Boston's bargaining chip is also very heavy. In addition to Ratliff and Gerald Green, Angie also desperately put Jefferson into the plan of this deal. This kind of seduction is also extremely deadly.

Bynum's potential is as coveted as his height, but compared to the big guy who hasn't fully demonstrated his ability, Jefferson's improvement rate in the past two seasons is right in front of your eyes.

Especially during the year of partnering with Chen Feng, this guy's statistics and playing time are rapidly accumulating. When the rookie contract ends, he can definitely afford a big contract and can also show this ability.

The advantage that Los Angeles and Boston can leave other competitors far behind is the value of these two future potential stocks. For the Timberwolves, this is far more attractive than other transactions.

For this kind of temptation about the future, I am afraid that no team can ignore it. What's more, the Timberwolves are destined to embark on the road of reconstruction. Unlike the Supersonics who selected Durant, they will be more difficult.

Therefore, no matter which deal is chosen, it is a gamble with a heavy bet, and the same is true for Boston and Los Angeles. Both teams pay the price of overdrafting the future.

The same heavy bet is also on Garnett. No matter who he bet on, he is testing his luck.

He can't have another 12 years, he can only get older, and the hope of winning the championship is slowly fading.

He doesn't want to leave empty-handed, he must calm down now, and take that step on the road ahead...
