                                He never retired. Signed his contract with China back in the summer and then was there less than a week I believe. His plan was to play in China and then jump on with a team for a run at the playoffs. 
He looks to be in very good shape and has been focusing on stuff inside the paint and the 17-19 ft shots.
I don't know if he'll make it back but I'm rooting for him.

                        If he doesn't make it back I believe you'll never hear of him again. He'll be happy living a rural lifestyle with wife and son his cattle and his ammo shop.robj55;1706104 wrote:Well that's unfortunate, if he just shows up and plays hard he will do well, has shown that in the past.

                                It was funny because LeBron said "if you could play 82 games in one arena, this would be where I'd want to do it"  he said nothing about wanting to be a knick, but I knew when I heard him say it that there would be am article. 
And yes cousins is a bitch, but he went to UK so he's misunderstood and really a gentlemen and top 26 player ever.

                                Marc Stein reporting the T-Wolves are trying hard to reacquire Garnett. If he wasn't an asshole, you'd feel semi-bad for him having to play his entire career in the shittiest climates.

                                How does this help the twolves? Doesn't this set them back in their rebuild. You gave up love and in return got a player you're going to move again? Other than to put Butts in seats, this makes little sense.

Garnett isn't going to make them any better in the standings than without him.

                                The Timberwolves will continue to blow for a move like this.  Why trade a young piece for an old dude who's trash at this point in his career?  If you want a swan song, sign him to the vets minimum next year and let him take away games off.

                                Crazy deadline day between mostly irrelevant teams. Really dont think Phoenix got any better overall.

                                What's crazy is Golden State might win 65+ games and end up with a hell of a first round opponent in OKC.

                                Phx didnt get better today, but having two more 1st round picks for a player that is leaving in 3 months doesn't hurt.

                                It is beyond me why teams bend over for Riley.  I was listening to the le batard show (i know, its the only thing on) on the way home, and they were jerking off to this trade.  Some of the guys were saying this might make their starting 5 one of the best in the league. LOL.  It will bring even more lulz if Dragic leaves after the season is over.  Essentially the Heat traded two first round picks for a guy who may not be on the team after this season.  All to get bounced in the first round.

                                He may not stay, but Miami was one of the places he wanted to go outside of NY and LA

                        They gave up a more valuable pick in the trade with Philly, though.gport_tennis;1706678 wrote:Phx didnt get better today, but having two more 1st round picks for a player that is leaving in 3 months doesn't hurt.
