Mark Stein was on this morning on Jim Rome’s radio show. laker_guerilla from LG.net summarized the interview (though added his own words in it), but you can listen to the whole interview by listening from the audio archive.
Here is a summary about what Stein said on KG (not word for word, but a summary):
Rome: Is Minnesota going to move Garnett?
Stein: That’s still the word I get. One exec, whom I trust implicitly, said “I know for a fact that MIN still wants to move KG before the season starts.” They really wanted to do it before the draft. Wanted Noah badly. Likelihood is that they do something…because how do you bring Garnett at this point? …KG finally does want to leave now, even though he won’t ever come out and say it … his trust in management has eroded …Taylor/McHale will be back and KG won’t want to work with them anymore … Chicago is the team that has the most ability to make a deal but doesn’t want to gut the team… If Boston was willing to deal Jefferson, deal could be done (they’d have to ignore his threat of not being willing to play there … but perhaps now with Allen and Pierce he could be) – it’s a financial question – can BOS pony $60M for 3 players? … GS still has the pieces to make a deal … Dallas and the Lakers are still very interested but would have to compile 3 or 4-team deals … MIN not interested in what the Lakers or Mavs have straight up.
