McHale: You never say never
Rick Alonzo/Pioneer Press writes that though both Garnett and the team realize a trade is a possibility, neither has said "a trade would be best. "Wolves vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale, speaking to Twin Cities reporters before the report surfaced, said he continues to have discussions with teams about possible trades -- not necessarily involving Garnett -- but wouldn't reveal specifics.
From Kent Youngblood/Star Tribune:
As for Garnett, McHale did indicate a shift in attitude as far as his superstar's trade status.
"We've always talked," McHale said of conversations around the league. "The only difference is ... we've had three what I consider to be sub-par years. And you listen more. But that doesn't mean you do any more.
"Do I know what the future holds? No. If somebody offers you something that is phenomenal, you never say never. If a team says, 'We'll give you X and Y and this and that', you have to look. But I haven't seen player X and Y and everything else coming out of the woodwork either."
Britt Robson/On The Ball writes that it's time for Garnett to go:
Just because it is so painful--and for fans of the Wolves and Twins, painful is not a hyperbolic word, but a legitimate description of the ache--shouldn't obscure the reality that the reasons for trading Garnett and Hunter are greater than the reasons for keeping them.
