※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： : http://www.startribune.com/wolves/story/1309082.html : Last month, before the NBA draft and before Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor : traveled to China, he had a talk with Kevin Garnett. : We're going to go younger, Taylor told his star, which might make it more : difficult to become a title contender. Taylor在選秀及去中國度蜜月前曾經跟KG談過球隊年輕化的事情 : "I thought he might say, 'Well, if you're going younger, I guess I don't want : to play here,' " Taylor recalled Tuesday. "But he said, 'I'd be a good : teacher. Guys taught me and helped me. I'd like to do that.' " Taylor對於KG的反應非常驚訝，因為KG並沒有提出轉隊的要求，他反而認為自己可以幫助 小狼們成長 : Taylor, who returned over the weekend, talked about a range of subjects : Tuesday, including the team's decision to field offers for Garnett before the : June 28 NBA draft. He admitted Boston was the Wolves' most serious trading : partner. And while not ruling out a Garnett trade, Taylor said the team is : now focused on altering its roster in other ways. 他也提到了許多關於球隊的事情，包括了KG的交易 在眾多傳聞中，他承認最有可能發生的是與Boston的交易 即便是現在，Taylor仍然沒有鬆口說KG一定會留下來，但是灰狼也在想辦法調整隊形 : Taylor also said he doesn't think any fence-mending is needed between Garnett : and the organization. : "It concerned him," Taylor said of Garnett and the trade talk. "He said to : me, 'I'd always assumed I was going to play here forever and ever.' " Taylor不認為最近的傳聞傷害了KG跟球隊之間的關係 KG也曾跟Taylor說他認為他會一直待在灰狼 : Garnett could not be reached for comment. : When the Wolves report to training camp in Turkey in October, the team likely : will be filled with young talent. : That group will include second-year players Randy Foye and Craig Smith, : third-year player Rashad McCants and first-round draft pick Corey Brewer. 十月的訓練營裡面，灰狼將會有一群充滿潛力的年輕球員報到，像是Foye, RMC, Smith and Brewer : "I think Kevin is positive about this," Taylor said. "It's not in his mind : that we're going to be a poor team. I think his thoughts are maybe we'll be a : better team with the younger guys." Taylor覺得KG對這個情況是滿意的，並不會因為球隊都是一些年輕小伙子而認為沒有 競爭力 : Taylor said Garnett was pleased with the deal that brought Juwan Howard to : the Wolves in exchange for guard Mike James. KG也很滿意Howard的那筆交易 : More changes are possible. Kevin McHale, the Wolves vice president of : basketball operations, has said several times he would like to continue : changing his roster via trade. Tuesday, Taylor said that process was proving : more difficult than anticipated. Still, the Wolves owner hopes at least one : more trade is possible. Taylor希望之後能至少在完成另外一筆交易來改變球隊的體質 : The drafting of Brewer would appear to make veteran Trenton Hassell the : player most likely to be moved. 選來Brewer可能會把Hassell擠走 : Veteran Ricky Davis might be attractive to some teams, both for his ability : to score and expiring contract. But the Wolves could gamble that Davis would : be inspired by a salary drive to play his best basketball. Troy Hudson has : asked for a trade, but his salary would seem to make that all but impossible. Davis是個有吸引力的籌碼，不過因為今年是合約年，Davis也是可能會大爆發的 雖然THud要求交易，他的薪資跟表現讓這個要求變的不太可能 : Taylor said the team will wait to dabble in free agency -- the Wolves have : both a bi-annual and midlevel exception -- until it sees how the attempts at : trades work out. 灰狼還有 MLE 跟 bi-annual可以用在FA上面，不過他們打算試著達成交易後再考慮使用 MLE跟bi-annual的可能性 : But a trade of Garnett? : "Do I think it's going to happen? No," Taylor said. "Do we feel we have to do : one? No. Are we willing to live with what we have, with Kevin and making some : minor changes? Yes. But if a team came along, if we saw the right thing and : it made sense? Maybe. But I don't see it." 關於交易KG Taylor不覺得KG會被交易 也不認為需要交易 對他來說現在的灰狼只要在體質上做改變就可以接受了 即便如此 交易KG的可能性還是有的 不過並沒有任何一隊有足夠的籌碼來達成KG的交易 --
