Re: Trade Stoudamire for Garnett?
I'm pretty sure this trade would never happen, though I'd be pumped if it did.
1) I don't think he's brushing it off. I think he's just saying if PHX wants a trophy in the next 2 years, get this guy and do it. Deal with the fallout later.
1A) Agreed. I lol'd reading that part.
2) No one can "handle" Duncan, but yes, KG is a very competent defender so he can make him battle. He's a lot smarter on the defensive end, so he won't get himself in foul trouble the way Amare does either.
3) He's still incredible, though. This would really be an all or nothing trade for PHX.
4) Yeah, but Garnett is better at literally every other aspect of the game, and it's not like he isn't a competent scorer. He's probably not as great a compliment to Nash as Amare is, though.
5) Is it about recognition for Marion, or about the in-house dynamic? I always thought it was the latter, in which case KG is probably a better fit.
I'd be incredibly shocked if this ever happened.
