Looks like KG is headed to Phoenix instead in a 3 way trade.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett is close to going to the Phoenix Suns in a monumental three-way trade that would send Phoenix forward Amare Stoudemire to the Atlanta Hawks, league sources said Wednesday.

Atlanta would move the Nos. 3 and 11 picks in Thursday's draft, as well as Zaza Pachulia and Anthony Johnson, to Minnesota.

Minnesota owner Glen Taylor has delivered a mandate to his basketball executives to get a deal done, one league executive said.

Yahoo! Sports has learned that the trade would also save the Hawks from an emerging showdown between the front office and coaching staff over whom to draft with the third pick. The front office and coaching staff had settled on Florida power forward Al Horford, but a faction of the Atlanta Spirit ownership group, with business interests in China, is pushing them to take Yi Jianlian.


The deal hinges on Atlanta general manager Billy Knight saying yes, as well as Hawks ownership, which is mired in lawsuits, being willing to increase payroll. It is believed that star Hawks guard Joe Johnson talked to his former Suns teammate on Wednesday and that the 24-year-old Stoudemire, a first-team All-NBA choice, told him that he'd welcome the trade.

I am still a little leary of Stoudemire's leg (micro fracture?) I think the T-Wolves are doing very well for themselves

 

So the Suns trade a 24 year old superstar for a 31 year old superstar? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

 

odom might be talented, but i haven't seen 1/10th the competetive spirit that garnett displays.

 

i think it's a chemistry thing with amarea. he and marion apparently don't get a long. and really, they didn't miss a beat when he was out so it's not like he's a vital part of their team.


atlanta's got some serious issues in their ownership.

 

You mean didn't miss a beat as long as they played teams where they could afford to play small ball.



Trading Stoudamire for Garnett is batshit crazy. If Marion doesn't like him, Phx should see how Marion likes playing in Boston.

 

Atlanta is a disaster in both the owners box and the GM position. I can't understand gow Knight has managed to keep his job after some of the drafting he's done in past years.

 

Remember that Nash is the engine that drives that team, and once he's gone, who knows what will happen. They have a 2 year window before Nash is done, and Garnett gets them a title.

 

They still won't get a title with Garnett. Yea they got to the Western Finals without Amare but lets be real, no way the team without Amare even wins two games against the Spurs (who they luckily didn't have to face because Dallas beat that year).

 

Duncan has generally performed better against Amare than Garnett.
