From Marty Burns/SI.com:
While Minnesota continues to insist it has no intention of dealing its franchise player, many around the league believe vice president Kevin McHale is at least open to the idea. With KG able to opt out of his contract next summer, it might make sense for the T'wolves to do something now rather than risk losing him for nothing next year.
