It is difficult and challenging to find legitimate trading partners in the NBA today. Deals are difficult to work out due to the salaries having to match so exact. It has been rumored for some time now that Garnett would be traded, but he still remains a member of the Timberwolves. What team out there will surrender the bounty required to obtain Garnett? Moreover, why should teams want to give up so much for him. He???s a big man that plays timid. To obtain him, teams would have to give up another highly talented player, a couple roll players, and a draft pick. No team will be willing to make that deal. Any possible suitor will not offer enough to obtain Garnett.

Garnett has yet to make anyone around him better. Look at players like Lebron James or Kobe Bryant. They are surrounded with roughly the same amount of talent as Kevin Garnett, but they continue to get their team into the playoffs every year. At the end of the game Garnett becomes timid and he looks to unload the ball off. He is a great NBA player, but he is growing in age and not worth the price it would take to get him. For a team like the Lakers to acquire him, it would require Odom, Bynum, and at least a first round draft pick. Bynum might well develop into a great player himself, Odom is all ready a solid performer, and a first rounder is a valued commodity. Garnett just is not a championship player. Even when the T-wolves had talent, Garnett let the team fold every year.

Spreewell and Cassell were still in the tops of their careers during the time that they were paired with Garnett. Kevin has had weapons around him and he fails to deliver. Again, you aren't facing the question as to what these teams will give up. The Bulls would certainly not be able to retain Wallace, Hinrich, and Gordon in a trade. Heck, they wouldn't get Pau Gasol because it would require one of them. Garnett is a nice numbers player, but he doesn't have what it takes to carry a team in the NBA. Garnett is now getting up in age and will not be worth a few years of slightly improved records for a mortgaged future.
