I know GP is a better GM then Kevin but Im just saying that GP works under the radar, why cant someone else?And yet - I've just checked some TWolves and Sixers boards and there's nary a hint...
Go figure.
KG for AI?
- Thread starter *JW*
- Start date
I have a lot of problems believing this trade could happen. Just running the numbers gives you a LOT of headaches. I've tried a lot of various combinations between the Timberwolves and the Sixers and cannot get the numbers to work through realGM if Garnett and Iverson are key pieces of the trade.
If your source is correct, it should be very, very interesting. You might want to ask him/her how they get the financial parts to match.
As far as someone else working under the radar, we're talking Kevin Garnett and Allen Iverson. I would strongly suspect that someone on one of the two organization involved OR the league office itself would simply find this too juicy NOT to leak. And I have really strong doubts about Kevin McHale's ability to keep ANYTHING a secret.
At this point, this is just a really vague rumor concerning AI and KG. There's really not much of substance to it at all, especially considering the $$$$ doesn't work through realGM the way you've laid it out there.
I'm not doubting you but I'm sure not convinced this is a deal that has a realistic chance of going through.
Have a nice Fourth!!!

What;s RealGM? Real General Manager? It sounds like a software...where do you download it? This trade sounds really false if you think about it. Have a nice 4th to everyone too
I don't believe you or your source because I don't know either. If you're right then sorry I'm not believing you but still if that happened Kevin Mcfail is the worst GM ever. Worse than Isiah Thomas. I actually think that Foye+Hassel would fit well with Iverson and they'd need some frontcourt help but I still don't think Iverson can win a championship without a second guy like a PP/KG.
KG is an awful fit in Philly. Their roster sucks almost as badly as MN's does but they have no shooting, their best player would be benched because KG plays the same position, and they don't have many good defenders either.
Neither team would make the playoffs and it's just a lateral move that doesn't even fill any roster holes.
You're kidding, right? The trade checker at realGM is just about the best-known place to check to see if trades even work financially.
BMiller52 - Just because you don't know "JW* or his/her source doesn't mean he/she might not have one. You can question the rumor or the trade itself without questioning the person who posted it...

Yeah sorry about that but I just dont' believe this. I mean I see no reason for this trade to happen. AI and KG are both aging stars that need a real second option to win. Then the wolves would add Randy foye? He's one of the only guys on their roster who would fit with AI and I think KG must have more value than Iverson anyway. Foye would fit well with AI because he can play PG and defend the SG(he's a good defender, I watched him in college). IMO it would be like a slap in the face to each player just to trade them to another crappy team. Neither team gets salary relief, neither team gets more young players to build around, neither team gets a second star to go with their star player so they can compete, it's just a lateral move and each team will suck. There is no reason for either team to do this, do you agree with me?
You dont have to trust me...I wouldnt trust a person I didnt know...but you can give me the benefit of a doubt. Why would I just post some made up thing if it had no credibility? I like this site and I wouldn't ruin it with nonsense posts.
I dunno man I just can't believe it. You have a source but I still think this trade won't/shouldn't go down. If it does then Kevin McFail and Billy King=worst GMs ever. I guess Philly wouldn't be TOO bad but they're still not winning a championship:
Starting five would be: Foye/Iguodala/Korver/KG/Dalembert. That is too much youth to surround KG with. Their second best player would be coming off the bench and KG wouldn't have another star to go with KG.
Minny would just be awful:
AI/Davis/Hassel/Griffin/Blount. They don't even have their lottery pick and that team is going to be like the fifth worst in the league lol. No bench either. They trade their best fit with AI(Foye) too. Kevin McFail really is a joke.

From my observations: Philly coveted Randy Foye pre-draft, and was trying to work something out where Boston drafts Foye and trades him to Philly for Iverson. Boston drafted Foye, but for some reason dealt him to Portland (maybe they think the younger Telfair would be better for them long-term), who then sent him to Minnesota for Roy. You see where I'm going with this...
The question is, is Philly still interested in Foye, or is someone making a guess based on the pre-draft talk. This deal might be more in the direction of pairing Iverson and Garnett, and not a swapping of stars The latter makes no sense.
