I like the vid but I have to say Kevin mchale the GM of the wolves at the time practically gift wrapped him to the Celtics at the time so they didn’t technically lose him they kinda just gave him up big fan still

And that ladies and gentlemen, is why loyalty is overrated in the NBA. You can be loyal to a franchise for 10+ years and they still won’t know how to build around you or give you a chance to win. Which is why LeBron, AD, KG and other players have every right to do what’s best for them and not worry about the franchise.

[@LeeSquilliam]

Wade County this is the truth just imagine if Lebron never left the Cavs for Miami he’d have no rings just a bunch of meaningless records and stats NBA loyalty means nothing if your franchise can’t you help out as a star player more superstars should be willing or consider to leave their current team if nothing is being done to compete for a title that’s what the NBA is all about

[@ExistentHope]

Kevin Durant too

[@LeeSquilliam]

Existent David Exactly people call KD a snake for joining the warriors in reality he put himself in the best possible scenario to win a championship and he did that so people can no longer say KD hasn’t accomplished anything when he’s a two time NBA champ two finals mvp and is on the road to a third championship when guys like Lillard and Beal want to be loyal to an organization that has little to no chance of competing with other teams or surrounding them more talent then they become those players that were really good but nothing to show for it other than stats

[@comicthecon]

L-Herbo lmao no KD had an mvp superstar right besides him unlike anyone else. And everyone’s main issue was him joining the team he just blew a 3-1 lead to

[@ryanhines7184]

As a wolves fan, this story definitely hurts and we just couldn’t get kg enough talent around him to win. glad he eventually got his championship and came back to the wolves to retire

[@AlexBrown-xp7mt]

Garnett’s prime is quite literally one of the greatest of all time (and when I say that, I’m talking borderline top 5, not top 20).

[@MysticMungusSlungus]

I'll never forgive the Suns for not following through with this trade. The Wolves wanted Amare, who had a horrible work ethic (read Seven Seconds or Less), was injury prone, fresh off microfracture surgery, and really bad defense. Getting Garnett would have put the Suns in the best position to win a title since Charles was there.

[@tj5180]

Marion was also in the offer but they pulled out. Suns and the lakers were two teams kg wanted to play with

[@Akotintin12]

The very first NBA game I watched was Lakers and Wolves in 2000. That's when I really fell in love with the game and idolized KG. Happy he won MVP in 04 even though they lost to the Lakers. But most of all, happy he won a DPOY award AND a ring in 2008. Been a Celtic fan since then as a way of showing my gratitude to the team KG won a chip.

he also got paid so theres that..and being the first high school to nba star helped too...he pretty much held the franchise hostage back then giving them little flexibility with the amount of salary cap he occupied to stay for that long..and he still asked to be traded..smdh

[@gh0stworks]

​@@razkable Did you really watch the vid? 1. KG didn't want to be traded at all nor did he initiate a request to be traded. He said he'd only accept being traded if it was to a contender and preferably a warm city. 2. Timberwolves still had the capacity to sign good players. But they wasted their assets on Joe Smith TWICE in which they lost draft picks as penalty and they still eventually signed him years later. Timberwolves overall is just a bad organization that made huge mistakes. Hopefully they don't make the same mistakes with their current roster.

[@kg21bestpf94]

It's crazy to think that KG had to carry such a huge load for so long and to think a 35 and 34 year old Spree and Cassel was his main help yet the Lakers had Shaq and Kobe...Mavs had Dirk/Nash/Finley...Kings had a nasty squad an all around team...Duncan had Pop and Robinson...I just seen a video on Speak for yourself where Dahntay Jones "there is no doubt Kg would of been known as the best PF ever if he had some type of real help in Minnesota"

AD is not in the same place as KG. The Pelicans have done a good job of putting pieces around him. Julius Randle is putting up 20 PPG, Jrue Holiday has near the same, the pulled a trade for DeMarcus Cousins Which shows that they aren’t afraid to pull off a big move to support AD, while KG was in an inept organization.

[@mypenisisincrediblytinybut6448]

The similarities between him and AD are uncanny

[@ExistentHope]

The Timberwolves lost K.G. to one simple thing stagnation they made it to the WCF in 2004 but that was just a 1 yr lucky run Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell only meshed for 1 good year. Due to the Timberwolves not signing any big name players or drafting high picks from 2005-2007 they set themselves on a rebuilding process with K.G. he saw it and wanted out since he was 11 yrs pro. It was best for him to leave rather than give up the rest of his career not winning a championship or maybe even making the playoffs for along time. You can see why Lebron James left Cleveland in 2010 too. But those 2007 events set off a chain of super teams flocking together just so guys can win Championships but it kinda cheapens it now the victory.

On any other team, McHale would have been fired for the Joe Smith Debacle in 2000, he kept his job until 2009. KG was loyal to the Wolves because the Owner was Loyal...to a fault.

[@bgtheone2903]

Why the Wolves lost Chauncey: Glen Taylor and McHale (Wolves top brass) didn't want to pay him. Terrell Brandon was viewed as the franchise point guard, and they thought he'd be back. Brandon ended up retiring and the rest is history. One of the worst front office decisions ever. Billups on Wolves would have made a big difference in the playoffs. Detroit wouldn't have the '04 title tho.

Or maybe another player may have issues with some of the players I just mentioned. KG is an immediate HOF, but he also had an attitude that could some issues with them.
