Which Way Minnesota Timberwolves?
The first thing that must be done is the firing of Kevin McHale. McHale's has built one of the worst teams in the NBA, despite having one of the best talents in the league, and has little-to-no young prospects on the roster. For everything that's been said about Isiah Thomas, how many guys on the Knicks would you trade for Mark Blount, Troy Hudson, or Marko Jaric? The Wolves are facing a very difficult decision on KG because of McHale's inabilities.
So where do they go from here?
Trade KG: I think the Wolves have to trade Kevin Garnett. They simply do not have any other viable options. It's either spend three-to-five years rebuilding or spend three-to-five years trying to build around KG and ending up with nothing and then having to rebuild anyway. McHale would have to be setting up the heist of the century if he had some major move planned to right this ship. The first deal I would look at is KG and Eddie Griffin for Pau Gasol and Eddie Jones. I'm not sure how Jerry West would look at this deal. He would likely try to get the #6 for the #26 but dropping 20 spaces AND giving up KG doesn't seem to make sense.
