Suns or Lakers that is. Looks like KG is starting to try to force Minny's hand. They will end up getting much less for him.

Also, earlier in the column. ATL is clearly trying to trade out of the #3 pick.

Wow

96-0, easy

 

[slinslin]

98-0 you mean.

 

[joshstmarie]

98-0 you mean.

196-0 you mean.

 

[HooverDam]

KT would be gone.

I'm assuming he'd resign for some minimum deal, either way, great line up.

 

[Nasser22]

98-0 you mean.

Aww ****, it was one or the other, I picked the wrong one. I was thinking 14, bah...

 

[azirish]

This would explain the apparent change in heart by the Wolves owners and also why the Celtics are no longer going for a Jefferson for KG deal.

If this reduces the Wolves leverage, then perhaps it would not take as many picks and we have been assuming.

 

[Goldfield]

Yea the pressure is on now. If we get KG wow, just wow.

 

[4 Rings]

KG would lose $15 million next two seasons if he did that. That is 30 million reasons why he is bluffing. These athletes are not stupid. And they love thier $$$$ way too much to leave that on the table.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

This has got to be one of the most exciting offseasons that I can ever remember.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Considering he's made about a quarter billion dollars from the Wolves, and who knows how much from endorsement, on top of being one of the most modest and humble ballers ever... I'd be surprised but not 'shocked'
