U.S. Team Wants Garnett

Jerry Colangelo would like Kevin Garnett to reconsider.
Colangelo, who is in charge of putting together the 2008 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team, said Thursday he is aware Garnett has said he is not interested in playing for another gold medal.
But Colangelo wants to hear it directly from Garnett, and the Phoenix Suns chairman said he plans to make an appointment to meet with Garnett when the Timberwolves play in Phoenix on Feb. 6. Colangelo also plans to talk with Wolves forward Wally Szczerbiak, who has said he would love to play.
