I suspect most of you read it, so I wanted to bring this topic up.

1) Seems like KG understands that he's not in control of where he plays right now, and doesn't want to "take" control. He was not brought up that way.
2) He is royally, and I mean royally, pissed with the Wolves. He was so close to the Finals, and then they break up the team, to relegate them to the lottery from almost then on out.
3) He focuses on today, to try and get them to get better.
4) Hates to lose.

So from this, as far as I can tell, KG is GONE once his contract is up. For ownership to screw with you like that is messed up, in his mind. The Wolves just are not looking to get a championship, and the moves they've made since then have been abysmal. You think Mitch's moves are bad? Look at the Celtics. Look at the T'Wolves. Look at KG, and the insanity that he's in.

I think this will quiet all talk down about KG telling the owners to trade him. He'd probably like to get traded, but won't tell them at all. He plays the hand he's dealt until he has more chips on the table to be able to push the Wolves around. And he will, IMO.

Maybe he'll opt out in 08 and sign for the mle.
Kidd/Kobe/LO/KG/Bynum. Wait, did I just wake up?

Well ya they went to the west finals but that same team the next year didnt make the playoffs.
I respect the man for his loyalty but (bleep) KG time to look after yourself and get in a better situation.
The only reason he has not demanded a trade here is because Ronny has his #21 . Its ok man you can wrestle for it.

KG may be ticked but until he specifically says "I want to be a Laker, trade me there or I'll opt out and sign there", I dunno if he's coming. I'd very much like it but it's gotta come from the horse's mouth first.
