Kevin Garnett won't be donning the royal colors of LA anytime soon. Apparently, the Lakers aren't willing to give anything up in return for Garnett.
For those of you sleeping under a rock the past month, Kobe has spent the last month berating the Lakers front office for failiing to put together any deals to help out the team.
I bet the Lakers don't get Garnett even though they "talks are continuing." Why? Well, the Suns are in talk with Minnesota about acquiring Garnett. That deal would involve Boston. A three way deal is always better (much like a three way 'Yo). Why?
Well, three way deals are very hard for fans to object to. Mostly because they don't understand it. However a deal involving three teams is more able to offset the loss of a superstar like Bryant or Garnett. If Minnesota is getting rid of Garnett, they are going to expect a lot in return. How 'bout some draft picks, and a young player with potential. The problem with the Lakers is they aren't able to deliver the latter.
The Lakers aren't quite back to where they started (with a Kobe throwing a tantrum like a spoiled Hilton). They have restarted talking with Indiana about a possible Jermaine O'Neal acquisition.
