Trade For the Ages

I want you to read this very closely....Kevin Garnett will be traded to the Lakers before the 2008 season. You heard it here first....I don't make predictions like this everyday - the last time I felt this strongly about a trade was when Piazza went to the Mets from the Dodgers (via the Marlins) - but this is a no- brainer. Think about it:

A) Garnett doesn't need $$$

B) The Lakers have the players to offer. Odom's recent playoff performance can make him the main piece. Add Kwame Brown (the Lakers have Bynum to replace him) with either Luke Walton or DeveanGeorge, and the trade could work.

C) Minnesota is going nowhere. Garnett's huge contract (which the Lakers could handle or restructure) is an albatross for the T'Wolves. They need to start over.

D) Garnett is hungry to win and his game (which is supremely ill) would be PERFECT for the Lakers. He is the ideal match-up for the key players on the other Western Conference powers (Dirk, Amare Stoudamire, T. Duncan). KG and Kobe would work well together offensively as well.

E) Garnett would love to play for a real coach (Flip Saunders is/was a regular season coach only)

F) After 10 cold-ass years in Minnesota, LA has got to look like a paradise.

G) The NBA would love it. You think Stern likes having one of the league's most unique players, (and darkest colored NBA superstar) in the middle of nowhere on a crap team? Players of Garnett's stature should only be on either the Knicks (won't happen), Sixers, Celtics, Pistions, or Lakers.

H) KG would look dope in Laker gold and purple


What? You think I'm buggin'?? Tell me why.....
