sometimes I hate putting a light on some players I am watching, KG is highly undervalued in the hobby world, just like t-mac. They get no love.

Don't worry gio.
I'm not going to get that many of his cards. I was just going to pick up a few at the local card shop if I could find any. Nothing big. Its not like I have the money to corner the market on KG cards.Selling all my cards here updated as of May------------> Hidden Content

Well it would definitely breathe some life back into the Eastern Conference.

That would definitely be a HUGE trade, but I think it would be dumb for the Wolves to do that. I guess their thinking is they aren't going to go anywhere with just KG and because of the cap they can't afford anyone else with KG so they'll try to start over young.

If that one other person is Eddy Curry, I'd do it in a split second.
KG is bound to be making $28M next year and will be demanding $20M+ for each year thereafter.
This guy, although now a superstar, has been more than compensated from the first day he stepped out of high school on to the NBA courts.
I'd do the trade in a heart beat.

Isn't there a salary cap in basketball so he can only make the limit?
I wouldn't do the trade if I were the Wolves.
There are plenty of people who are making way too much money in the NBA and at least Garnett is worth it.

There is... but KG's contract was from before the salary cap came on. His team is charged a certain exemption maximum towards the cap but the team still has to pay him that 20+ million each year which is DAMN steep.

pwaldo...last year, the salary cap for a team was something in the $55+M
KG had his contract done before the current salary cap rules; his contract was one reason the current rules were quickly passed.
HOWEVER, there is no limit to how much a player can make in a year.
Theoretically, Shaq could be paid $100M per year, but that means the owner has to pay dollar for dollar any amount over the salary cap. So, if salary cap is $60M, that means the owner owes $40M in tax to the NBA. And that doesn't include salaries from the other 11 players.
KG needs to be paired with another center -- Shaq and Ducan -- in order to get his title.
KG is definitely overpaid.
