Sooner or later it will come down to two options.  1) He re-signs with the 
T-Wolves and everything is back to normal.  2) He still wants more, and we 
trade him for about...oh...5-6 players on any given team.  And all of them 
combined make his salary.  
 The Wolves recent payroll is  $26 million.  Say we give $22 million a year 
to Garnett.  Right now Gugliotta is making $5 million a year, and Terry 
Porter $2 million.  Just singing those three players puts us over the 
payroll.  We still have to re-sign Center Dean Garrett, and he wants $2-$3 
mill a year.  Plus, after this season we will have to re-sign Stephon 
Marbury.  
  It's a given fact.  When you can't re-sign everyone, you trade the player 
that makes the most, and find a replacment for half the cost.
 
  All-in-all if he is not re-signed by the time the season starts, kiss him 
good-bye.  He will be headed out west to the SUNS, or up north to the 
RAPTORS.  Either one, it doesn't matter as long as we get a good replacment.  
I can see Marcus Camby coming over here and starting and soing a fine job.  
Plus he cost about $5 million a season, thats $12 million more the Wolves 
have to re-sign Gugliotta and Marbury to $6 mill a year.
  I like Garnett a lot, but not at the price he wants.
