Dreaming doesn't hurt does it??? (KG)

I was surfing some other boards, and someone else gave me a dream that would be so tight if it became reality. Imagine this lineup if it were possible, which there is no chance in hell, but do remember that the Nets basically did get Vince Carter for a couple of bushleaugers......let the dreaming begin....

Successful Scenario
Due to Houston and Minnesota being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Houston and Minnesota had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Throw in 2 draft picks, and Minny should accept. Garnett is worth Howard, Wesley, and Sura, and Dupree is worth Norris. They get tons of cap relief with Norris, Wesley, and maybe Sura expiring, as well as 2 draft picks to rebuild with. I don't know if anyone would put a better offer on the table. This is a financial nirvana to any rebuilding team.

If this were to happen, we could then get Luther Head some minutes.

Rafer/Head/Jay Williams
DA/Barry/Glover
TMac/Bowen-Dupree
Garnett/Swift/Baxter
Yao/Mutombo

Would be simply amazing, the SPEEERS would have no chance....lol....

 

Hence, the thread title....just making light of some bad times, that line up would be spectacular, and mind you some idiot from another board posted this, so I thought it might be fun for a little bit of dreaming......no need to FLAME my friend....

 

lol, its ok man....we dont need to give up on this team just yet, 6-10 led to 51-31, so you never know....

 

Very good point!!! Houston being a top 4 major city is a big factor, but they would make no revenue off of Minnesota. But think of it, if behind the scenes the Chineese wanted to make this a more marketable team, not saying they have control, but they do have a pretty good say I am sure, a big three of T-Mac, Yao, and KG would be unstoppable, making us possibly the greatest Frontcourt in the history of basketball, making us an extremely marketable team. Imagine how many jerseys we would sell. T-mac and KG are very popular jerseys, and YAO of course we know. This in turn would generate more ticket sales, come on ,its like bringing Pettite and Clemens to town, and then Les would make more money and not be ashamed to go into Luxury Tax land.....he could also get his NHL team


But I don't know, to continue the dream, how JVG would cope with two prolific scrorers. I am not sure how KG is about his stats, as I am sure his stats would truly go down in JVG's system, but he is a good defensive player.


But on the otherhand, Stromile Swift is the same build atheletically as KG....if he put more muscle on, and played a little bit harder, we could possibly have a KG on our hands, and this dream wouldn't have to come true. I mean, Stro is a freak of nature atheletically, and he needs to step up more offensively, hell he was the 2nd overall pick, and KG was like 5th or 8th in his class. COME ON STRO!!
