Kevin Garnett Traded to Minnesota for Thaddeus Young
By Jason McIntyre
The Timberwolves traded Thaddeus Young to the Nets for Garnett, who has talked openly about becoming a part-owner of the team after his career is over. Brooklyn is in full scale fire-sale mode, and is about to trade Brook Lopez to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Garnett had to waive his no-trade clause in order for the deal will get done. KG will ostensibly coach the young core of Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine and Shabazz Muhammad.
