As I sat in front of my TV for some 5 hours watching the NBA playoffs (My wife wasn't around) I forgot how much I enjoyed watching competitive NBA hoops.. The TimberWolves nearly sucked the NBA life out of me these past two seasons.. But I have decided that Kevin Garnett isn't really a superstar.. He is a great player but has many limitations most of which are around being great when it counts and the end of crucial games.. When I think of the year that the wolves made there run to the Western conference finals it wasn't Kevin making the great shot at the end to win the game it was Cassel or Spree or anybody besides Kevin.
So what should the wolves due.. Well if the NBA had the CBA that the NFL has I would cut him straight out and take the 20 some million he will make next year and buy some draft picks and one or two young free agents.. No matter how good we think Kevin is here in Minnesota if you put him on the team with Spurs or Cavs and Minus there superstars of Lebron and Duncan those teams would struggle to make the playoffs.
I think the rest of the NBA is agreeing with me when a guy leads the league in rebounds averages 20+ points and 5+ assists and he does not make the third team All NBA team.. This kills me to say this but if you had to draft anybody from any team regardless of age or attitude where would you pick Kevin..
Lets start naming names and you tell him if you would take kevin before them. Lebron,Kobe,Duncan,Shaq(age not a factor),Dirk,Amare,Wade,Howard(I'm reaching), Brand,Nash,Kidd, I would like to hear opinions on this one.
Kevin keeps looking for players(dogs) that are jerking the chain maybe he should look in the mirror and find one in himself..
Speaking of which I am jerking at the chain for a Pizza.. (I am carbing up for my walk this afternoon)
Out..
