Just saw this now. Why did the Nets do this trade given that Thaddeus Young is an expiring contract? Why did the Timberwolves do it? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

They're just letting Garnett end his career where it started and retired as a t wolf
Why did the Wolves give up an asset to do it though?
He's not really an asset as an expiring post deadline, plus KG probably helps them lose a cpl more games.
Although afaik KG wants to acquire 5-10%? of the TWolves, also he's probably not a bad guy to have in and around the locker room when your team is as young as theirs. _________________ I believe everything the media tells me except for anything for which I have direct personal knowledge, which they always get wrong

I feel like some team might have been willing to give up at least a second-rounder for Young's bird rights.
I guess it makes sense for the Nets too. Young will help them in their playoff push more than Garnett would have.
Not sure Garnett would rather be on a tanking team than in the playoffs, though. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

I don't know if it makes any sense for them to bring him back, but as a Minnesota guy I love it. Wolves have nothing else, might as well have some nostalgia with their favorite son. And I do think he can contribute on the boards for them, which they need.

It would be nice to see him retire where it all got started. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
