manhattanproj, you’re probably more right than I am, but if Nellie’s is the coach, I lean more towards offensive explosion. Garnett’s going to give you what AB gives you — rebounding, hustle, toughness, agility. I worry about Andris — who will get a phat contract — being duplicated by the addition of Garnett. Monta certainly won’t be duplicated.
And I do think KG would be a good fit for Nellie ball. First of all, there aren’t many people who aren’t. But look at KG’s game, he’s athletic, in shape, intense, and likes to shoot jumpers. He’s perfect.

This might be a very naive question, but has anyone discussed whether KG would fit with Nellie’s uptempo, small-ball system? I know KG is a great player, but would he be a good fit?

marcus, why are you willing to part with andris more than monta for garnett. as good as monta is, big men are harder to find, esp big men as agile and relentless as andris. if we could get kg, i would rather ship off monta. but then and again, i’m greedy, if we can get kg for al,picks, etc, that would be even better.

if monta is gone, there is someone we can replace him with in the draft, mike conley jr. he’s not as explosive of a scorer as monta, but he’s poised and knows how to run a team.

the kevin garnett dream continues. i’m loving our team too much right now to think about this. we’ve got a flowing, intense team– people are getting neck tats! but hey if there’s ever a way to get garnett– do it!
