In Aschburner's Strib article about Kevin Garnett today, KG finally opens up a little bit and gets honest about his feelings on what's going on with the T'Wolves.
It's about time.
"I've always said that I think I'm worth not only being listened to, but I think I'm ... definitely in a position to where I do have a team and I do have a chance to win a ring and I do have an opportunity. So I think, at the end of the day, they should at least give me that. If it's anything different than that, then that's a discussion that we have to talk about. Because I don't know anybody in this city, nor in this room, that likes losing. I don't want to go through another season like this."
The Wolves have been completely embarrassing since the trade with Boston that was supposed to turn it all around. A 10-20 record, in over half of those 20 loses, the Wolves led going into the fourth quarter. A team that can't finish is a team that lacks character... that would seem to be an apt description of the Wolves.
Garnett is doing everything he can as the leader of the team on the court, Dwayne Casey is doing as much as he can as a first year coach, as the leader of the team on the bench. This team needs help and leadership from the front office. Help that it's not getting.
The most telling quote from the article is at the end when Garnett shows where his loyalty with this team lies: with the fans and with the owner.
"I don't know any fans that like to come and watch a team lose. I'm a basketball fan. ... Some of this has to be addressed. But I have faith in Glen that he'll do the right thing."
Notice Kevin McHale is never mentioned in the Strib article. Is there any doubt what Garnett feels would be the right thing to do?
