KG to Dallas?

It could work, but only if they get Atlanta involved -

Minnesota Timberwolves
Incoming Players: DeSagana Diop, Speedy Claxton, Marvin Williams, Lorenzen Wright, Josh Howard, Tyronn Lue, Anthony Johnson, and #3 pick (from Atlanta)

Outgoing Players: Troy Hudson, Kevin Garnett, #7 pick

McHale gets his top-3 pick to choose Horford (or Conley) and a terrific selection of youngsters – Diop, Williams, Howard. It beats any offer so far on the table for KG.

Dallas Mavericks

Incoming Players: Salim Stoudamire, Kevin Garnett

Outgoing Players: Greg Buckner, DeSagana Diop, Erick Dampier, Josh Howard, Devin Harris, Maurice Ager

Dallas strips its bench and youth but teams KG with Dirk (along with Jason Terry, Stackhouse, MBenga, and a few others). If injury-free, obviously a title contender.

Atlanta Hawks

Incoming Players
Greg Buckner, Erick Dampier, Devin Harris, Maurice Ager, Troy Hudson, #7 pick

Outgoing Players: Salim Stoudamire, Speedy Claxton, Marvin Williams, Lorenzen Wright, Tyronn Lue, Anthony Johnson, #3 pick

The Hawks, as is their deep desire, become a playoff team overnight – they get a center in Dampier and a PG in Harris, and lose only Marvin Williams among their highly regarded youngsters. Meaning they still have Joe Johnson, Joshes Smith & Childress, and Pachulia, and Buckner/ Ager/ Hudson for backcourt help. They loved Joakim Noah in workouts, and he’d likely still be there at #7, and they keep the #11 for another good youngster.


If Dallas really wants KG, it’s a no-brainer for all 3 teams…..
