Sonny V. on 570AM was doing a bunch of draft stuff. And what he's hearing from the GM's around the league - a KGtoPhx/Amare to Atl deal is just about done.
Talking to hZm (who is in the car on his way back home).

Personally, I think he will be traded by the draft. |
I hope this isn't panning out to be one giant draft day dud. |

The Minnesota Timberwolves' attempts to get a great deal for Kevin Garnett hit a major roadblock on Wednesday afternoon, sources told ESPN.com.
According to multiple sources, the Timberwolves have been talking to multiple teams about finding a third team to help facilitate a Garnett trade.
As ESPN.com reported on Tuesday evening, Minnesota was looking to acquire Atlanta's No. 3 and No. 11 picks in the draft along with several cap-friendly contracts from the Hawks and Phoenix Suns.
To participate, Atlanta wanted Amare Stoudemire from Phoenix.
On Wednesday, sources say one of the Hawks owners vetoed a hypothetical deal for Stoudemire.
The Suns claim to have never had any direct contact with the Hawks about a deal. While they have shown strong interest in acquiring Garnett, the deal never reached a stage where they were asked by either team to give up Stoudemire and never offered him in a trade.
While teams like the Lakers and Suns will continue to pursue Garnett, and the Wolves seem intent on trading him, sources say that it's unlikely a deal goes down by the time of the draft.
The latest drama in the KG saga shows some of the perils of dealing with the Hawks -- arguably the most dysfunctional franchise in the league.
The Hawks ownership group, Atlanta Spirit LLC, is embroiled in a nasty lawsuit with former partner Steve Belkin. Belkin won a lawsuit against Atlanta Spirit LLC last summer and a judge ruled that he could buy out the owners of Atlanta Spirit and gain full ownership of the team. Atlanta Spirit is currently appealing the ruling.
In the meantime, Belkin holds some authority over the team. He can veto any trade or free agent signing that takes the team above the NBA salary cap. Several sources suggested that it was Belkin who vetoed the trade.
This fiasco isn't the only situation the Hawks are dealing with. Sources said that Hawks general manager Billy Knight is in a dispute with some of the Hawks owners over who to take at No. 3. Knight prefers Florida's Al Horford. Some in the Hawks ownership, including influential owner Michael Gearon Jr., want to draft Yi Jianlian out of China. |

I would be surprised if any of KG, Kobe, or JO are traded after the draft because the draft picks seem to be such huge assets this year. However, the Suns would be in a even better position after the draft because they still would have Atlanta's 2008 pick to offer. This stuff just sucks.

The NYtimes says it "fell apart."  I think this may go to the wire, last minute type deal, if anything even happens. | Quote: | The trade would have sent the Suns’ Amare Stoudemire to the Hawks, with Atlanta sending its No. 3 and No. 11 picks (plus role players) to Minnesota, but it apparently fell apart, to the amazement of three team executives who spoke on the condition of anonymity because no deal was made final...
Sending Garnett to Phoenix seemed possible until it appeared that the Hawks’ unsettled ownership situation contributed to the death of that deal...
Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, reports centered around the Lakers again targeting Indiana’s O’Neal. But yesterday evening, the Indiana executive Donnie Walsh said there was “no validity” in a deal with the Lakers.

^^^yea, its clear no one knows anything. Unless the Wolves really want to trade KG by the draft (which I always thought was the case), they will wait it out and likely trade him later in the summer. I would be very surprised if they hold onto him only to see him opt out next summer and lose him for nothing.

I think this is how these rumors spread so much. Someone(espn) makes up a rumor about a deal being almost done. GMs then hear/read about that. Reporters then ask GMs if they know anything about KG being traded. The GM says well they heard KG probably will be traded to Phoenix. Espn and other "news" sites post "updates" how according to some GMs, KG will probably be traded to phoenix.

This is the email the Lakers setup for season ticket holders to voice their displeasure. Write them and tell them to do whatever they can to acquire KG! |

Then the GMs who are cited as the anonymous GM source by ESPN read the article and tell ESPN that it's gaining steam: other GMs are talking about it, too. |

ESPN News just said the Minny/ATL/Phoenix trade is believed to still be alive.
Bucher said it.
And no, I'm not sure if it is a re-run or not. |

Man I love this...we've got updates coming from every possible source known to man kind. Now all we need to do is get some people on the phone with Miss Cleo and some palm readers and see if we can get some real inside information on what's happening. Infact, I'm gonna go whip out the ouija board right now and see if I can unearth any kind of daunting revalations for the next couple of days to come. I'll be back for an update in a little bit.
