A Retrospective: The KG Deal 3 Years On


Yes, 31 August 2010 is the 3-year anniversary in arguably the biggest transaction in the history of the Timberwolves. Much has happened since KG last worn the Wolves uniform both for KG and for the Wolves franchise.

Rather than cast thread worn dispersions about McHale, Taylor, and others, I propose we use the occasion to reflect on:

1. How would the Wolves been different had KG stayed with the Wolves the past three years?

2. How the Wolves is positioned today for the future versus where it would be had KG stayed?

3. KG played very well in the last playoffs after injury, but what does the future look like for KG, how much longer can he perform at his normal high level?

4. What would a potential several week CBA-NBA lock out do for aging top performers like KG?

Again, let's keep the discussion above board. The finger-pointing and blame finding has long lived its usefulness.
