Would you be willing?

Would you be willing to part with K-Mart and Bibby + salary fillers for KG? The Kings would be left with

C-Brad (or Shareef is Muss has his way)
PF- KG
SF - Ron
SG - Cisco
PG - Price

Not sure if that team is good enough to win. What do you think?
 
Yes.

Although I'd start Salmons. And pray it works, because if not it would be a one-way ticket to oblivion. Oh, and Kenny Thomas' salary needs to be involved.
 
Kev and Brad? Yes. Kev and Mike....the backcourt cannot hold. UNLESS you could get enough consistency to start Salmons and Cisco. BUt even so the outside shooting would be woeful.

Besides which, over the last few years Bibby has become progressively less valuable to the Wolves since they have composed 1/2 their roster of PGs. Brad still has value, so would Kevin. So might even SAR (a placeholer stand in for KG). Of course what you could do in a Kevin/Bibby type situation is move pieces around the edges -- take back one of the Wolves PGs, say James or Jaric, and give them one of our now not needed PFs, Thomas or Reef (obviously I'd prefer Thomas in that scenario). Then you could start:

Jaric (I presume they'd prefer to keep James, and want no part of Hudson)
Salmons
Artest
KG
Brad

And you'd be pretty close to talking turkey.

^I figure you just make the Mike/Kevin for KG deal and then try your hardest to get someone like Brevin Knight through trade or Mo Williams through free agency. Knight/Salmons/Artest/KG/Miller? The offense might be a bit ugly, but that would be some serious defense.

Also, the Wolves can keep James and Jaric. Jaric is the same type of player as Salmons, only Salmons is better.

No way...

Martin is the future.

And that back court would get destroyed.

Kevin Martin has been a pleasant surprise and had some nice games. But to say he's "the future," as in the centerpiece of the franchise for years to come? I think that's a stretch. He's a nice piece; I'm not quite ready to concede that he's in the same class as L. James, C. Anthony, etc. On the other hand, KG is one of the top 50 players of all time. You put him in a frontcourt with Miller and Artest -- particularly in a scenario like the one Bricklayer laid out, in which the Kings are getting some additional backcourt help -- and all of the sudden the Kings go from a marginal playoff team to, at worst, a 6th seed.

Is that team good enough to win? I honestly don't know. Who would coach? I honestly don't have enough faith in Muss right now to trust him to get the most out of someone like Kevin Garnett.

:(

Oh there's a deal I'm sure Kevin McHale is just dying to see proposed. :rolleyes:

This is all getting very amusing IMHO. Let's send all our garbage to Minnesota, but have Martin carry it so the TWolves won't detect the ploy, and we'll get Garnett? Ain't gonna happen...
 
There's no way you trade both Martin and Bibby. We are so obsessed with the idea that KG would fill our frontcourt needs but you don't give up your entire backcourt to get it. The fact that KG makes outside shooters better means you have to keep at least one of your two outside shooters...because you don't want Artest and Salmons chucking up all our 3-pointers. :rolleyes:

Other than that, you do anything to get him. ;)
 
You might want to try and convince Garnett first that he does, in fact, need to leave Minnesota. Based on what he's said all along and again very recently, he doesn't view that as a real possibility.
