Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor made it clear that a blockbuster trade offer
would be the only type he would listen to for All-Star forward Kevin Garnett.
And even then, the chances are nothing would happen, Taylor said.
"I've talked to Kevin and he is very happy staying here with us," Taylor
said. "He was excited about the acquisition of Juwan Howard [in the Mike
James trade with Houston]."
Taylor verified that Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge called Wolves vice
president of basketball operations Kevin McHale to find out if Garnett was
available.
"We're going to listen to any offer," Taylor said. "It would just have to be
an exceptional deal for us. "I mean you're right, the odds are just extremely
high [Garnett will remain with the Wolves]. I don't know what kind of a deal
it would be, but it would have to be something. ... You know it isn't likely
that we're going to get the No. 1 or No. 2 draft [pick] because of where they
went. [The deal would have to be] something like that, but that's not going
to happen. I can tell you nobody's come close.
"You know Kevin's preference is that he stays here. So it isn't like he's out
looking for a trade and it isn't like we're looking for a trade."
Taylor said he had no comment about a report on ESPN.com quoting Garnett's
agent, Andy Miller, that Garnett wouldn't agree to go to Boston and that
Garnett might name teams he would go to in two days.
If you listened to Taylor, you too would be convinced there is zero chance
that Garnett will be traded.
